PREFACE. 



The object of this book is to bring together within the compass of a single 
volume the records of the officers of the army now living. It diifers from 
any existing book containing officers' records in that it embraces all living 
officers, whether graduates of the Military Academy, or appointees from 
the ranks, or from civil life ; and also in being complete in one volume. 
The original intention of the publishers was to have the records as full 
and explicit as to all the details of the services of the officers represented 
as it was possible to make them, with due regard to the space available. 
This of coui'se involved co-opei-ation on the part of the officers themselves, 
and to that end the publishers made earnest effort, by means of circulars 
and advertisements, to secure from every officer in the army the facts of 
his record as he wished it presented. Many offlcei's responded, but mauy 
did not, and what the book lacks in i-espect of fullness as to details is 
attributable to this failure on the part of a large number of officers to 
respond to the often repeated solicitation of the publishers. The thanks 
of the publishers are due to Colonel Guy V. Henr}^ U.S.A., for voluntarily 
placing at their service his valuable book of " Civilian Appointments," and 
to Captain Geo. F. Price, 5th Cavalry, for similarly giving them the use of 
his interesting work, "Across the Continent with the Fifth Cavalry," both 
of which have been freely availed of. They also tender their thanks to 
General Horatio G. Wright, chief of engineers, and to General Godfrey 
"Weitzel, of the same corps, General S. B. Holabird, quartermaster-general, 
General Stephen Y. Benet, chief of ordnance. Colonel M. I. Ludington, 
Major W. B. Hughes, and Captain John L. Clem, of the quartermaster's 
department. Colonel S. C. Lyford, of the ordnance, and to Colonel John 
B. Nicholson, recorder of the grand commander}'' of the militar}' order of 
the Loyal Legion, for favors and assistance received. They also desire to 
make acknowledgment for assistance derived from the use of Major Wil- 
helm's " Military and Naval Encyclopaedia."

To THE Assistant Ad.jutant-General, 

Military Division of the Pacific, 

San Francisco, Cal. 

Sir, — I wish to make special mention 
of the following officers who served under 
my command during the late expedition 
against hostile Nez Perces : 
-X- ***** * 

1st Lieut. Charles F. Humphrey, 4th 
Artillery. He commanded Co. "E," 4th 
Artillery, at the battle of the Clear Water 
on the 11th of July, and Company "A" 
on the 12th of July. His battalion com- 
mander says of him, — He exposed himself 
on so many occasions that I will not at- 
tempt to enumerate them. A hint to him 
was sufficient, no matter what the danger. 
He and his company were the most ex- 
posed of any of the battalion. Nothing 
daunted him. Throughout the campaign 
he continued to display his soldierly quali- 
ties.

"2. To Rev. Osgood E. Herrick, Chap- 
lain U. S. A., and his estimable wife. 
There is probably not a single officer or 
soldier stricken down who does not feel 
greatly indebted for their sympathies and 
their kind and constant attentions. The 
arduous services, too, of the Chaplain, 
both as pastor and friend, among the 
stricken in the city, as well as in garrison, 
were unremitting to the extent of sacri- 
ficing his own health for the good of others. 
Contrary to the advice of the Commanding 
Officer and his phj'sician, this officer in- 
sisted upon keeping his post in spite of ill 
health, and continuing in the performance 
of every duty — official, pastoral, and so- 
cial — until this epidemic was stayed ; and 
he has thereby shown how well the great 
military virtue of self-sacrifice combines 
with the higher virtues of jeligion.''

j Schw^atka, Frederick. Born in Galena, 
j Illinois, September 29, 1849, and with 
his parents immigrated to Oregon in 
j 18-53. His early life was spent at Astoria, 
Albany, Eugene City, and Salem, mostly 
at the latter point, with the early history 
of which he was more or less intimately 
connected ; he entered West Point June 
8, 1867, having passed a successful exam- 
ination and continued his studies unre- 
mittingly until 1871, when he graduated 
June 13, and was assigned to active service 
as 2d lieutenant in the 3d U. S. Cavalry, 
then serving in Arizona ; he was after- 
wards (Dec. '71) transferred to the De- 
partment of the Platte ; he meanwhile 
turned his attention to the study of law 
and was admitted to the U. S. Circuit 
Court for the District of Nebraska J\Iay 5, 
1875; he then studied medicine and sur- 
gery and graduated at the Bellevue Hos- 
pital Medical College, in New York, 
March 1, 1876; rejoining his regiment he 
served in the Sioux war of 1876, partici- 
pating in the actions of the Rosebud 
(June 17, 1876) and Slim Buttes (Sept. 9, 
1876), and minor Indian skirmishes; at 
his own request was granted leave of ab- 
sence to command the Franklin search 
party in the Arctic Ocean, in which he 
was employed from June 19, 1878, to 
September 22, 1880, the object of the ex- 
pedition being to find the records and 
relics and determine the fate of the British 
Northwest Passage Expedition of Sir 
John Franklin, which sailed from Eng- 
land in the "Erebus" and "Terror" in 
1845, and of which but very little had 
ever been ascertained ; the expedition 
under Lieutenant Schwatka's command 
made the longest sledge journey in the 
world, a distance of 3251 miles, being ab- 
sent from its source of supplies eleven 
months and twentj' days, subsisting off of 
the game of the country, the trip having 
been undertaken with but one month's 
rations provided, the party living on the 
same food as did their Esquimaux allies 
and guides ; it encountered the lowest 
temperature ever recorded by white 
men traveling in the field, viz.: 71 degrees 
Fahrenheit, or 103 degrees below freezing 
point; it discovered and buried many of 
the skeletons of Sir John Franklin's lost 
party, secured numerous relics, and other- 
wise cleared away much of the mystery 
connected with that ill-fated expedition ; 
on March 20, 1879, Lieut. Schwatka was 
promoted to a 1st lieutenancy in the

FOURTH REGIMENT OF CAV- 
ALRY. 

Colonel. 

Royall, William B. Born in Va. Ap- 
pointed from Mo. He served in the Mexican 
War as 1st It. of Co. D, 2d Mo. Mounted 
Vols., from July 31, '-10, to Aug. 14, 
'47. He reported at Ft. Leavenworth in 
the summer of 1846, and marched with 
his regiment to Santa Fe, and while serv- 
ing in New Mexico during the year 1847 
was engaged in the battle of Caiiada, the 
skirmish of Embudo, and the assault upon 
and capture of the Puebla de Taos. He 
was assigned, with Capt. Burgwin, of the 
1st Drag., to the duty of charging the 
fortitications of the Puebla de Taos, where 
he was distinguished for conspicuous gal- 
lantry. On the expiration of the term of 
service of his regiment it was consolidated 
into five companies and reorganized as the 
Santa Fe Battalion. He was then com- 
missioned by the President, under Section 
21 of the Act of Congress approved March 
3, 1847, a first lieutenant and adjutant of 
the battalion, to date from August 14, 
1847, and ordered to Missouri on recruit- 
ing service. After securing the required 
number of men he reported at Fort Leav- 
enworth, and in May, 1848, started with 
his detachment for Santa Fe, having in 
charge Paymaster Bryant (who had eighty 
thousand dollars with him), a supply- 
train of fifty wagons, and five hundred 
head of beef-cattle. When encamped near 
the junction of Coon Creek and the Ar- 
kansas Iviver, between Forts Dodge and 
Larned, he was attacked at daybreak on 
the 18th of June, 1848, by three hundred 



Comanche warriors. He had scarcely time 
to corral the cattle and secure the horses 
when the Indians charged through his 
camp and made repeated eff'orts to stam- 
pede the stock. In these charges nine war- 
riors were killed and many were wounded. 
The Indians then fled across the river in 
a southerly direction, when he mounted 
thirty-four picked men and pursued them 
four miles in the sand-hills, killing four- 
teen and having four men severely wound- 
ed. He was outnumbered three to one 
and was encumbered with the supply-train 
and cattle, but he succeeded in placing on 
record as creditable a combat with hostile 
Indians as can be found in the annals of 
frontier service. When he arrived at 
Santa Fe the war was ended and the troops 
were preparing to return home. He was 
then assigned with the recruits on escort 
duty to Gen. Sterling Price, and marched 
with the command to Independence, Mo., 
where he was mustered out of service on 
the 20th of October, 1848, and returned to 
civil pursuits. In consideration of his gal- 
lant services in the combat on Coon Creek 
he was commissioned a first lieutenant 
in the Fifth (old Second) Cavalry, to date 
from March 3, 18.55, and was the senior 
first lieutenant of the appointments in that 
grade in the four new regiments created 
bj' the act of Congress of March 3, 1855, 
of those who had previously served as 
lieutenants of volunteers during the war 
with Mexico. He received his appoint- 
ment at Columbia, Mo., and proceeded to 
Pittsburg, Pa., where he served on re- 
cruiting service until July, when he joined 
the regiment at Jeflerson Barracks and 
was assigned to the command of a detach- 
ment of Company C, which he retained 
until the 24th of August, when the head- 
quarters of his company joined and he 
returned to company duty until the 20th 
of September, when he was detached to 
recruiting service at Columbia, Mo. He 
rejoined his company at Jefferson Bar- 
racks in October, and marched with the 
regiment to Texas, and arrived at Fort 
Mason January 14, 1850, where he had 
station until June, and participated in an 
expedition to the head-waters of the Con- 
cho, and was engaged in a combat with 
hostile Comanches on the 1st of May, and 
won a special mention in the official re- 
port for gallant conduct. He was then 
assigned to recruiting service at Philadel- 
phia, where he served until November, 
1858. He then conducted a detachment 
of recruits from Carlisle to Texas, and re- 
joined the regiment at Camp Radzimin- 
ski December 31, 1858, and assumed the 
command of Company C, which he re- 
tained until the 10th of February, 1860.

He was cn2:ngt'd in the brilliant combat 
with hostile Oomanehcs on u tributary of 
tiie Nescutungii, near Fort Atkinson, May 
13, 1859, and was highly commended for 
conspicuous gallantry and energy, and 
won a special mention for particular ser- 
vices in holding the enemy in check until 
the main command arrived on the scene 
of action, and in very adroitly capturing 
their horses, for which, in the language of 
the report, "great credit is due him." 
He was also complimented in orders by 
General Scott. He changed station to 
Camj) Cooper in June, 1859, participated 
in the Cimarron expedition October-Nf)- 
vember, 1859, and changed station in 
December to Camp Lawson, where he 
served until May, 18H0. He was then 
transferred to Fort Inge, where he had 
station (on leave of al)sence June, 1860- 
February, 1801) until March 19, 1861, 
when he marched to Indianola (command- 
ing company) and embarked on the steam- 
ship Emj)ire City just in time to escape 
capture, and arrived at Carlisle on the 
27th of April, 18G1. He was promoted a 
captain March 21, 1861, and participated 
in General Patterson's Shenandoah cam- 
paign, and was engaged in the action of 
Falling Waters and the skirmishes near 
Martinsburg and Bunker Hill ; served in 
the defenses of Washington during the 
winter of 1861-62, and participated in the 
Virginia Peninsular campaign, and was 
engaged in the siege of Yorktown, the 
battle of Williamsburg, and in almost 
daily skirmishes with the enemy during 
the advance towards Richmond, the battle 
of Hanover Court-House, and the recon- 
noissance towards Ashland, and was made 
a brevet major, to date from May 27, 
1862, for gallant and meritorious services 
at the battle of Hanover Court-House. 
He was commanding two squadrons of the 
regiment on the extreme right of the 
Army of the Potomac, in the vicinity of 
the Pamunkey River, when he fought the 
action of Old Church, June 13, 1862, and 
received six sabre wounds while engaged 
in hand-to-hand conflicts with the enemy. 
He made a stubborn fight, but was over- 
whelmed by superior numbers, and, al- 
though surrounded and grievously wound- 
ed, he cut through the enemy and joined 
the main army. He received two sabre 
contusions on the right side of the head ; a 
cut two inches long on the forehead ; a long 
cut on the left cheek which bled profusely ; 
a cut on the right wrist, dividing a ten- 
don ; and an incised fracture, four inches 
long, of the left parietal bone. These 
wounds, attesting the severity of the con- 
flict, disabled him from lield service for 
some years. He was made a brevet lieu- 



tenant-colonel, to date from June 13, 1862, 
for gallant and meritorious services at Old 
Church, and was ottered, in September, 
1862, the colonelcy of the Twenty-seventh 
New Jersey Volunteers, which he was 
compelled to declinebecauseof his wounds, 
which incapacitated him for Held sei'vice, 
and his sense of justice forbade him to 
accept the pay of ^i grade when he was 
unable to discharge the duties belonging 
to it. Tills was a keen disappointment, 
because it was understood that an a])puint- 
ment of brigadier-general of volunteei's 
would soon follow if he accepted. When 
he was able to travel, although still sutlVr- 
ing from his wounds, he reported at Wash- 
ington in October, 1862, for the purpose 
of joining the regiment, but it was decided 
to send him to Louisville as a mu.stering 
and disbursing officer, where he served 
until March, 1864. He was then trans- 
ferred to the Cavalry Buretiu at Wash- 
ington, where he served until May, when 
he was appointed superintendent of the 
Mounted Recruiting Service at Carlisle 
and conunandant of the drafted camp of 
that district. He was promoted a major 
in the regiment December 7, 1863, and 
was made a brevet colonel, to date from 
March 13, 1865, for arduous and faithful 
services in the recruitment of the armies 
of the Unilfed States. He was relieved 
from duty at Carlisle in April, 1866, and 
ordered to Nashville, Tenn., where he 
commanded four companies of the regi- 
ment until November, when he was re- 
lieved by the lieutenant-colonel and per- 
formed garrison duty until April, 1867. 
He was then ordered to North Cart)lina 
and instructed to inspect the cavalry ser- 
ving in the Second Military District. 
When this duty was completed he was 
appointed chief of the Bureau of Civil 
Ali'airs, and served in tliat position from 
May to August, 1867, and prepared the 
registration-books and designated all tha 
registrars of elections in the Carolinas. 
He was relieved at his own request, and 
assigned to the post of Morganton, where 
his duties were of a delicate and impor- 
tant nature, involving the execution of 
the reconstruction acts of Congress in fif- 
teen counties of Western North Carolina. 
He discharged them with great judgment 
and marked fidelity to the government, 
and continued in command of the station 
until August, 1868, when he was trans- 
ferred to Raleigh, and was ordered thence 
in September, with a detachment of the 
regiment, to frontier service. He took 
the field at Fort Harker, Kan , on the 1st 
of October with four companies, and com- 
manded in the afl'airon Prairie Dog Creek, 
Kan. He relinquished the command to a

to Fort Kiley, where he had station until 
April, 1869, when he marchod a detach- 
ment of recruits to Fort McPherson, Neb. 
He served with the Republican River ex- 
pedition of 18G9, which resultt^d in open- 
ing the beautiful valleys of that river and 
its tributaries for settlement, and com- 
manded the expedition from July 30 to 
August 24, and was engaged (command- 
ing) in the afl'airs on the Republican River, 
near Spring Creek, Nebraska ; in the sand- 
hills near Frenchman's Fork, Colorado ; 
in the sand-hills south of Julesburg, Col. ; 
and in the Niobrara pursuit, and (second 
in command) in the brilliant action at 
Summit Springs, Col. He served at Fort 
JlcPherson from the 24th of August to 
the 15th of October, 18G9, when he availed 
himself of a leave of absence, and joined 
a detachment of the regiment at Fort D, 
A. Russell, Wyo., December 22, 1869, 
where he had station until March, 1872, 
and performed garrison duty and com- 
manded the detachment of seven compa- 
nies at diflerent periods. He then pro- 
ceeded to Arizona, and arrived at Camp 
Grant on the 6th of June, and com- 
manded the station until the 9Lh of July, 
when he was assigned to court-martial 
duty at Fort Whipple, where he served 
until the following October. •He was then 
on leave of absence and detached service 
at San Francisco until March, 1873, when 
he rejoined at Camp Lowell, commanded 
the regiment a few days, and proceeded 
to Camp Grant, where he arrived on the 
28th of March, and commanded the sta- 
tion until the 20th of April, when he was 
ordered to San Diego and Los Angeles as 
a member of a board to purchase cavalry 
horses. He continued on that duty until 
July, when he was assigned to duty at the 
headquarters of tlie Department of Cali- 
fornia as an inspecting officer until July, 
1874. He rejoined at Camp Lowell, and 
assumed command of the regiment on the 
18th of July, and served at the station 
until the 1st of May, 1875, when he 
marched with the headquarters and six 
companies, by the way of the Rio Grande, 
to Fort Lyon, Col., where the conjmand 
was distributed, and on the 28th of June 
he relinquished the command of the regi- 
)nent at Fort Haj'S, Kan., and availed 
himself of a leave of absence. He as- 
sumed the command of Fort Dodge, Kan., 
on the 23d of November, and a few days 
later (December 2, 1875) he was |)ro- 
moted lieutenant-colonel of the Third 
Cavalry, which terminated a sorvice of 
nearly twenty-one years in the Fifth Cav- 
alry. He was transferred to the Depart- 
ment of the Platte, and assigned to the 



command of Fort Sidney, Neb., wliicli he 
relinquished in January, 1876, and pro- 
ceeded to Philadeljjhia, where he served 
as a meml)er of a board convened by the 
War Department for the purpose of con- 
sidering questions of general interest to 
the service, relating to supplies and the

FIFTH REGIMENT OF CAVALRY. 

Colonel. 

Merritt, Wesley. Born in New York. 
Appointed from New York. He was 
graduated from the Military Academy on 
the 1st of .luly, 1860 (the term of the class 
being five years), and assigned to the Sec- 
ond Dragoons (now Second Cavalry) as a 
brevet second lieutenant. He was pro- 
moted, in that regiment, a second lieuten- 
ant January 28, 1861 ; a first lieutenant 
May 13, 1801 ; and a captain April 5, 
1802. He joined his company in Utah, 
in November, 1860, and served at Camp 
Floyd until the early summer of 1861. 
He was appointed adjutant of his regi- 
ment on the 1st of July, 1801, and served as 
acting assistant adjutant-general of the De- 
partment of Utah and of the United States 
troops during the movement from Utah 
to Washington, where he arrived in Octo- 
ber, 1801, and served during the winter 
of 1861-62 in the defenses of the city. He 
relinquished the adjutancy of his regiment 
January 1, 1802, having been previously 
appointed an aide-de-camp for Brigadier- 
General Cooke, who commanded the reg- 
ular cavalry in the defenses of Washing- 
ton, and later the cavalry of the Army of 



FIFTH KEGIMENT OF CAYALKY.

the Potomac in the Yirginia Peninsular 
camjiaign, and participated in the siege of 
Yorivtown, the skirmish near Williams- 
burg, and the batth's of Williamsburg, 
Gaines' Mill, and Glendale. He con- 
tinued on the statf of General Cooke until 
Septemlier, 18G2, wlien he was transferred 
to the headquarters of the defenses and 
Department of Washington, commanded 
by General Heintzelman, where be re- 
mained until April, 18G3, wlien he again 
entered the field as an aide-de-camp for 
Brigadier-General Stoneman, and served 
with him, in April and May, during his 
raid towards llichnn)nd. He then re- 
joined his regiment, which lie commanded 
in the superb cavalry engagement at Bev- 
erly Ford, where, on the 9th of June, 
18G3, the National forces crossed the Rap- 
pahannock, surprised the enemy's pickets, 
and maintained for liours an obstinate 
battle with a superior force. He narrowly 
escaped capture, being at onetime almost, 
if not quite, surrounded by the enemy. 
He won the highest commendation from 
General Buford for conspicuous gallantry 
on that field ; and in those days the praise 
of John Buford was more highly esteemed 
by the officers under his command than a 
brevet commission. He commanded his 
regiment in the engagements at Upper- 
ville and Aldie, and, about the 1st of July, 
was ajipointed, in recognition of brilliant 
services at Beverly Ford, a brigadier- 
general of volunteers, to date from June 
29, 1863, and was assigned to the com- 
mand of the Reserve Cavalry Brigade of 
the Army of the Potomac during the 
Pennsylvania campaign, and ])articipated 
in the battle of Gettj-sburg, where he won 
his first brevet (major), to date from July 
1, 1863 ; the pursuit of the enemy to War- 
renton ; the actions at W^illiamsport, 
Hagerstown, Boonesboro', Funkstown, 
Falling Waters, and Manassas Gap. He 
then succeeded General Buford in the 
command of the first division of cavalry, 
participated in the operations in Central 
Yirginia, and was engaged at Culpepper 
Court-House, Brandy Station, and Bar- 
nett's Ford. He participated in the llich- 
mond campaign of 18G4, and was engaged 
at Todd's Tavern, Yellow Tavern, Meadow 
Bridge, Hawes' Shop, Old Church, and 
Cold Harbor, winning the brevet of lieu- 
tenant-colonel, to date from May 11, 1864, 
for gallant and meritorious services at the 
battle of Yellow Tavern ; and the brevet 
of colonel, to date from May 28, 18G4, for 
gallant and meritoi'ious services at the 
battle of Hawes' Shop. He accompanied 
General Sheridan on the cavalry raid 
towards Cfiarlottesville, and was engaged 
iu the battle of Trevillian Station (where 



he rescued the third division of cavalry 
from im])ending ca])ture when almost sur- 
rounded by the enemy) and the action at 
Derbytovvn. General Merritt was trans- 
ferred in August, 1864, from the Army 
of the Potomac to the Shenandoah Val- 
ley, and moved, by the way of City Point, 
Giesboro' Point, and Harper's Feri'y, to 
Halltown, where he arrived about the 8th. 
His division (first) was then composed of 
seventeen regiments of cavalry, organized 
into three brigades (commanded by Cus- 
ter, Devin, and Gibbs), and two batteries 
of artillery. The Shenandoah Valley is 
one of the garden-spots of Vii'ginia, and 
each year, about the time the crops 
ripened, the Confederates returned to the 
Valley to harvest them. It was also the 
chosen route by which to invade Mary- 
land and Pennsylvania, and a movement 
of troops on either side in the Valley al- 
ways compelled a counter movement by 
the threatened party. It was to end this 
condition of affairs that the Army of the 
Shenandoah was organized, and one of 
the first duties imposed upon General Mer- 
ritt's division was to destroy the forage 
and seize the live stock from Millwood to 
Winchester and Petticoat Gap, for the 
purpose of making the Valley untenable 
for the raiding parties of the enemy. Not 
many days were required for the division, 
stretching across the Valley, to destroy 
everything in the shape of forage and sub- 
sistence and to capture all serviceable live 
stock ; and then came the struggle with 
General Early's army for the possession 
of the Valley, during which General Mer- 
ritt was continuously employed with his 
command, and participated in the aftairs 
at Stone Chapel, Newtown, Cedarville, 
Kearneysville, Bunker Hill, Lcetown, 
Smithfiekl, Berryville, Opequan Creek, 
and the battle of Winchester, where the 
turning column of cavalry at a critical 
moment when the result of the battle was 
uncertain, repeatedly charged the left of 
the enemy's line, and, together with the 
rallied infantry, swept down upon Gen- 
eral Early and sent him whirling through 
Winchester. The art'air at Cedarville, 
near Front Royal on the Shenandoah, 
was a brilliant success for General Mer- 
ritt, being gained unaided and against 
odds. He defeated General Kershaw's 
division of infantry and two brigades of 
cavalry in an attempt to force a passage 
of the Shenandoah, and inflicted upon the 
enemy a loss of six hundred men. Then 
followed the movement to Front Royal, 
the engagement at Milford, and the skil- 
ful manoeuvring of the cavalry in front 
of Bunker Hill, until the Sixth and Nine- 
teenth Corps seized an advanced position

in front of Fishor's Hill, which they held 
until the Eighth Corps turned General 
Early's flank and forced him to abandon 
liis fortifications, when the cavalry joined 
the pursuit and participated in the actions 
at Luray, Brown's Gap, Mount Crawford, 
and Woodstocl^, and on the 19th of Octo- 
ber General Merritt won for himself and 
his division an enduring fame at the bat- 
tle of Cedar Creek, where he confronted 
the enemy from the first attack in the 
morning until their retreat that night, 
and held his position on the jiike, just 
north of Middletown, all day, although 
entirely unassisted by the infantry, until 
the enemy gave up the contest, when he 
charged with his cavalry, and, crossing 
the stream below the bridge, continued 
the pursuit to Fisher's Hill, capturing 
and retaking a large number of guns and 
colors and much material of war. He 
received the brevet of major-general of 
volunteers, to date from October 19, 1864, 
for gallant and meritorious services at the 
battles of Winchester and Fisher's Hill, 
and was specially mentioned in the official 
report of General Torbert for gallantry 
and good judcment at Cedar Creek, and 
recommended for promotion, which upon 
several occasions he had justly earned. 
Then followed the action at Middletown, 
and in the latter part of November Gen- 
eral Merritt was detached, with his divi- 
sion, to the cast side of the Blue Ridge, 
by the way of Ashby's Gap, to operate 
against Mosby's guerrillas. He partici- 
pated in the actions at Gordonsville in 
December, and at Ashland in March, 
186.5. He moved with General Sheridan 
in February from the winter camp near 
Winchester, being in command of the 
cavalry of the Army of the Siienandoah ; 
participated in the closing Richmond 
campaign of 1865, and was engaged in 
the b.ittles of Dinwiddle Court-House and 
Five Forks, where he commanded the left 
of the National lines and won the brevet 
of brigadier-gent'ral, to date from March 
13, 1865 (antedated), and a commission as 
a major-general of volunteers, to date 
from April 1, 1865, for gallant and meri- 
torious services at Five Forks and in the 
Shenandoah Valley. He was engaged in 
the skirmishes at Scott's Cross-Roads and 
Driimmond Mills (the cavalry of the 
Army of the James having been added to 
his command), the battle of Sailor's Creek, 
the action of Appomattox Station, and 
was present at the surrender at Appomat- 
tox Court-House on the 9th of April, 1865, 
being one of the three commissioners from 
the National army to arrange with the 
Confederate commissioners for the sur- 
render of the Army of Northern Virginia. 



He then participated in the movement 
against General J. E. Johnston's army in 
North Carolina, after which he was trans- 
ferred to the Military Division of the 
Southwest, where he served in command 
of two divisions of cavalry, and as chief 
of cavalry until July, 1865 ; then to the 
command of the cavalry in the Depart- 
ment of Texas until November, and there- 
after as chief of cavalry in the Military 
Division of the Gulf until December 31, 
1865. He was mustered out of volunteer 
service February 1, 1866, and was made a 
brevet major-general, to date from March 
13, 1865, for gallant and meritorious ser- 
vices during the campaign ending with 
the surrender of the Army of Northern 
Virginia. He visited Europe during the 
summer of 1866, and upon his return to 
the United States was appointed lieuten- 
ant-colonel of the Ninth Cavalry, to date 
from July 28, 1866; was employed on in- 
spection duty, with station at the head- 
quarters of the Department of the Gulf 
until February, 1867, when he assumed 
the command of his regiment at New Or- 
leans and proceeded to Texas, and served 
at San Antonio and Fort Davis until Sep- 
tember, 1869; he was then appointed a 
member of the general tactics board which 
was convened at St. Louis, where he re- 
mained until December, 1870, when he 
availed himself of a leave of absence until 
October, 1871. He then returned to 
Texas and resumed the command of his 
regiment at Fort Stockton, and after- 
wards served at Forts Clark and Concho 
until May, 1874. He was appointed in 
March, 1875, inspector of cavalry for the 
Military Division of the Missouri, em- 
bracing the Departments of Texas, the 
Missouri, the Platte, and Dakota, and 
retained the position until July 1, 1876, 
when he was promoted colonel of the 
Fifth Cavalry. He immediatelj^ joined 
the regiment in the Department of the 
Platte, and commanded in the affair near 
Indian Creek, AVyo., July 17, 1876, where 
he intercepted a large number of Chey- 
ennes who were moving north to join the 
hostile Sioux, and drove them back to the 
Red Cloud agency. He then moved by 
rapid marches to Goose Creek, Mon., 
where he effected a junction with Gen- 
eral Crook, and relinquished the com- 
mand of the regiment on the 4th of Au- 
gust, having been appointed chief of cav- 
alry of the Big Horn and Yellowstone 
expedition. He participated in the skir- 
mishes at Slim Buttes, Dak., September 
9-10, 1876, and upon the disbandment of 
the expedition in October, at Fort Robin- 
son, Neb., resumed the comma'iid of the 
regiment, and was assigned to Fort D. A.

Russell, Wyo. , whore he had station until 
the 29th of'April, 1880. He coniinaiided 
the United States forces assemhled at 
Omaha in July, 1877, during the railway 
riots of that summer ; he also coinmandi'd 
the Wind River expedition as^ainst the 
Nez Ferces in September and October, 
1877. He was employed on field service 
with a part t>f the regiment in Northern 
AV'yoming from May to November, 1878, 
and commanded the column which was 
dispatched to thi relief of the troops be- 
sieged by the Ute Indians at Milk Creek, 
Col. He made a remarkably rapid march 
from Rawlins, Wyo., to the scene of dan- 
ger, where he arrived on the 5th of Octo- 
ber, 1879, rescued the troops from their 
perilous position, and in a short skirmish 
dispersed the enemy. He then pushed 
ft)rward to the agency on White River, 
found the buildings destroyed, the agent 
and his employes murdered, and the 
women and children taken into cajttivity. 
He at once made arrangements for the 
pursuit and chastisement of the savages, 
and had penetrated their mountain fast- 
nesses about twenty-five miles when he 
was halted, at the request of the Interior 
Department, and ordered to return to 
White River; here he encamped until 
the latter part of November, when he 
returned to Fort D. A. Russell, where 
he served until the next spring, when he 
changed station, with the regimental 
headquarters and four companies, to Fort 
Laramie, Wyo., where he arrived on the 
2d of May, 1880. He declined, in August, 
1880, the superintendency of the mounted 
recruiting service rather than relinquish 
the opportunities for field service in com- 
mand of the regiment, which he held with- 
out interruption from October, 1876, to 
August, 1882, when he was appointed 
superintendent of the mounted recruiting 
service ; but a few days later the assign- 
ment was revoked, and he was appointed 
superintendent of the Military Academy, 
to date from September 1, 1882. 

Lieutenard-Colonel. 
Compton, Charles E. Born in New 
Jersey. Appointed from Iowa. He was 
engaged in railway engineering in the 
State of Iowa when the government called 
for volunteers to suppress the Rebellion. 
He enlisted for three months in the First 
Iowa Infantry on the 7th of May, 1861, 
and served as a first sergeant until the 
24th of May, when he was appointed ser- 
geant-major, and served in that grade until 
he was honorably discharged on the 21st 
of August, 1861. He served in General 
Lyon's campaign in Southwestern Mis- 
souri ; was engaged in the action at Dug 



Springs, and a few days later in the battle 
of Wilson's Creek, where his regiment, 
which occupied a position in the Third 
Rrigade of the first column, was distin- 
guished for its vigor, coolness, and con- 
s])icuous gallantry, and where he won a 
special mention in the official report of 
the lieutenant-colonel commanding the 
regiment for valuable aid and assistance 
on that occasion. He carried from the 
field the national colors which were dis- 
played by his regiment during the battle, 
delivered them to the adjutant-general of 
Iowa, and received from that official, in 
the name of the State, a beautiful silk flag 
as a recognition of his valuable services 
during the campaign. He re-entered the 
army on the 19th of October, 1861, as a 
captain in the Eleventh Iowa Volunteers, 
and was actively employed near Daven- 
port until December, 1861, in recruiting 
and organizing his company. He was 
then transferred to Renton Barracks, near 
St. Louis, whence he moved, in the spring 
of 1862, to Pittsburg Landing, where his 
regiment formed a part of the Iowa bri- 
gade in General McClernand's division and 
participated in the battle of Shiloh. He 
moved thence to Corinth, where he ar- 
rived in May and remained until Septem- 
ber, when he marched with his regiment 
to luka, but arrived too late to participate 
in the battle at that place. He returned 
to Corinth for the battle of the 3d of Octo- 
ber, remained there until December, when 
he was sent to Holly Springs, Miss., and 
thence to Memphis, Tenn., and in Jan- 
uarj', 1863, was ordered to Lake Provi- 
dence, La., where he was serving when he 
was appointed major of the Forty-seventh 
United States Colored Troops, to date from 
May 5, 1863. He continued on duty at 
that station until February, 1864, when 
he participated in General Sherman's ]Me- 
ridian campaign, serving as an aide-de- 
camp for Brigadier-General Crocker, com- 
manding a division in the Seventeenth 
Army Corps. He then proceeded to 
New York City and thence to Washing- 
ton, where he was assigned in May, 1864, 
to duty in the office of the inspector-gen- 
eral of the army, and was thus employed 
until September. He also participated in 
the defense of Washington during General 
Early's raid in July, 1864. He joined his 
regiment at Vicksburg in October, 1864, 
and was appointed inspector of General 
Hawkins's division of United States col- 
ored troops, and continued on that duty 
until April, 1865. He was promoted lieu- 
tenant-colonel of the Fifty-third United 
States Colored Troops, to date from De- 
cember 9, 1864; accompanied (General 
Hawkins's division in January, 1865, from

Vicksburg to Algiers (opposite New Or- 
leans), and thence in Febiiuuy to Pensa- 
cola by water, whence the division was 
marched overland to participate in the 
operations against Mobile. He was en- 
gaged with the division in the capture of 
Fort Blakely, and received the brevet of 
lieutenant-colonel, to date fi'om March 2, 
1867, for gallant and meritorious services 
during the campaign against Mobile. 
Lieutenant-Colonel Compton was strongly 
urged in May, 1865, for the colonelcy of 
the Fort\'-sixlh United States Colored 
Troops, and would have received the ap- 
pointment but for the fact that the regi- 
ment was reduced below the number of 
men required by law to entitle it to a col- 
onel. After the fall of Mobile he returned 
to special duty in the ofBee of the inspector- 
general of the army, where he served until 
September, 1865. when he was appointed 
inspector-general of the Department of the 
South, and continued in the discharge of 
the duties of that position until he was 
mustered out of volunteer service on the 
8tli of March, 1866. Upon the increase 
of the regular army he was appointed 
major of the Fortieth Infantry, to date 
from July 28, 1866. He accepted the 
commission in September, and upon re- 
porting at Camp Distributiim, Va., was 
assigned to the command of the station 
and to duty connected with the organiza- 
tion of his regiment. He embarked in 
February, 1867, with six companies for 
North Carolina, and while en route the 
command was shipwrecked near Fort 
Fisher, the vessel, government stores, and 
all personal eUVcts being lost. He served 
at Forts Johnson and Macon and at Golds- 
boro', N. C, and was actively employed 
during the reconstruction period and until 
March 15, 1869, when, because of the re- 
duction of the armj"-, he was transferred to 
the list of unassigned officers and placed 
on dutj^ in the Freedmen's Bureau as as- 
sistant commissioner for North Carolina. 
He continued in the discharge of the duty 
until ila}', when he was transferred to 
Nashville as superintendent of education 
in the Freedmen's Bureau for Tennessee, 
and received the thanks of General How- 
ard for the promptness, fidelity, and accu- 
racy displayed by him in transacting and 
closing the business of the ofBce. He was 
assigned on the 15th of December, 1870, 
with his original rank to the Sixth Cav- 
alry, and joined his regiment in Febru- 
ary, 1871, at Fort Richardson, Texas, 
where he served until March, 1871, when 
he was ordered to Kansas, and had stations 
at Forts Hays, Ilarker, and Dodge until 
August, 1875. While en route with a 
small escort to Camp Supply, I. T., on an 



inspecting tour, he was attacked on the 
22d of June, 1874, by a party of hostile 
Indians at Buffalo Creek, and, after a 
running combat for twelve miles, defeated 
the enemy with the loss of only one man 
wounded ; two days later, when returning 
to his station, he was again attacked by 
hostile Indians in the Bear Creek Hills, 
thirty-five miles south of Fort Dodge, and 
after a severe combat asrain defeated them 
with a loss of nearly all their property and 
seventeen warriors killed and wounded. 
He participated in Colonel Miles's cam- 
paign of 1874-75, during which he com- 
manded a battalion of the Sixth Cavalry 
and operated chiefly in the Indian Terri- 
tory and Northern Texas from July, 1874,. 
to February, 1875, and was engaged in the 
combat with the Kiowas, Cheyeunes, and 
Comanches on Red River, Texas, August 
30, 1874, where he was distinguished for 
leading his battalion in a gallant and suc- 
cessful charge against the enemy. He 
was complimented in orders for gallantry 
on this occasion, and was nominated to 
the United States Senate to be a brevet 
colonel, to date from August 30, 1874, for 
zealous and valuable services duiing the 
campaign. These operations ended, he 
resumed station at Fort Dodge, where he 
served until his regiment was ordered to 
Arizona. He conducted the second bat- 
talion to Santa Fe, where the six compa- 
nies separated for their respective stations, 
and lie proceeded to Camp Lowell, where 
he arrived in October, 1875. He served 
at Camps Lowell, Grant, and Apache, 
and commanded his regiment from Octo- 
ber 16, 1875, to March 2, 1876 ; from Oc- 
tober 9, 1876, to Julv, 1878; and from 
May 12, 1879, to July 6, 1879. He had 
charge of the field operations in South- 
eastern Arizona from April, 1878, to July, 
1879, and the ability with which he con- 
ducted the operations, and his quickness, 
vigilance, and discretion in covering im- 
portant places with troops at the right 
time won him a conspicuous and compli- 
mentary mention in the annual report of 
the department commander for the year 
1879. He was promoted in July, 1879, 
lieutenant-colonel of the Fifth Cavalry, 
to date from Ajiril 29, 1879, and, having 
relinquished his command in Arizona, 
proceeded to Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., 
where he arrived on the 22d of August 
and joined the regiment. He served with 
the troops which were dispatched under 
the command of Colonel JMerritt to the 
relief of the besieged troops at IMilk Creek, 
Col., participated in raising the siege and 
skirmish at that place on the 5th of Oc- 
tober, and marched thence to the Ute 
Agency on White River, where he had

command of the cavalry until November, 
when he returned to Fort I). A. Kussell. 
He ])rocecdcd in March, 1880, to AVhite 
liiver, and conducted the cavalry to Kaw- 
lins, Wyo. He marched from Fort D. A. 
Kussell on the 27lh of April with two com- 
panies of the regiment, arrived at Fort 
Sidney, Neb., on the 1st of May and as- 
sumed the command of the post, which he 
retained until January 15, 1882, and was 
employed on general court-martial duty 
at Salt Lake, Fort D. A. Eussell, and Fort 
McKinney. He then availed himself of a 
leave of absence until May 15, 1882, when 
he rejoined at Fort Sidney, where he is 
now serving. When Colonel Merritt was 
appointed superintendent of the Military 
Academy Lieutenant -Colonel Compton 
succeeded to the command of the regi- 
ment, which he has held since August 4, 
1882. 

Majors. 

Upham, John J. Born in Delaware. 
Ap|iointed from Wisconsin. He was 
graduated from the Military Academy on 
the 1st of July, 1859, and assigned to the 
Ninth Infantry as a brevet second lieuten- 
ant, but, without joining that regiment, 
was appointed a second lieutenant in the 
Sixth Infantry December 2, 1859, and 
was promoted, in his regiment, a first 
lieutenant May 4, 1861, and a captain 
September 9, 1861. On the expiration of 
his graduating leave he was assigned to 
Governor's Island, where he had station 
until after his transfer to the Sixth Infan- 
try. He then proceeded to California and 
served at Fort Crook and Bcnicia Bar- 
racks during the years 1860-61, and was 
the adjutant of the regiment from July to 
September, 1861. He served in the de- 
fenses of Washington during the winter 
of 1861-62; participated in the Virginia 
Peninsular campaign, and was engaged 
in the siege of Yorktown and the battle of

tember 23, 18G3. He declined the ap- 
pointment of major in the Second Cali-

siege of Yorktown, the battle of Williams- 
burg, and served with the advance-guard 
of the Army of the Potomac during the 
movement toward Richmond, and was en- 
gaged in almost daily skirmi?hes with the 
enemy, notably at Slatersville, White 
House, New Bridge, and JMechanicsville, 
and in the seven days' battle during the 
change of base to the James liiver. He 
participated in the closing ojjerations of the 
Maryland campaign, and served with Gen- 
eral Stoneman, as an aide-de-camp, of the 
Third Army Corps, at Poolsville, Md., and 
was engaged in the battle of Fredericks-

road at AVeldon, and had an engagement 
with the emmy near Jackson. The battles 
about Petersburg and Five Forks were 
then taking place, and bis brilliant move- 
ment did not become so conspicuous as it 



deserved to be ; but his success would have 
proved of the utmost importance if the 
National forces had been unsuccessful in 
these battles, as the movement was jdanned 
and carried into execution to guard against 
such a possible result. He was assigned, 
after the surrender of the Army of North- 
ern Virginia, to the command of a district 
in Virginia, which he exercised until ho

Captains. 
Adam, Emil. Born in Germany and 
emigrated at an earl}' age to the United 
States; the Alton (111.) Yagers, of which 
he was a member, having tendered their 
services to the government at the begin- 
ning of the war of the i-ebellion, were 
accepted at Springfield on the 25th of 
April, 18iJl, as a company of the Ninth 
Illinois "Volunteers; he was then ap- 
pointed a second lieutenant, and served 
during the period of enlistment (three 
months) at Cairo, and participated in a 
few reconnoissances into Kentucky and 
Missouri ; when his regiment was mus- 
tered into the service of the United 
States on the 28ih of July, for three years, 
he was promoted a tirst lieutenant, and 
marched from Cairo to Paducah, Ken- 
tucky, where he served on provost- 
guard duty until September, when he 
was appointed acting assistant adjutant- 
general of the second brigade of the forces 
under the command of Brigadier-General 
Charles F. Smith, and continued to serve 
in that position until he was promoted a 
captain, to date from November 14, 18G1. 
He continued to serve at Paducah until 
January, 186'J, when he participated in 
the Tennessee campaign and was engaged 
in the movement against Fort Henr}' and 
the capture of Forts Heiman and Donel- 
son. He tiien conducted a captured Ten- 
nessee regiment to Lafayette, Ind., and 
rejoined the army in time to parlici})ate, 
although on sick-report, in the battle of 
Shiloh, where he was dangerously woun- 
ded. His company had forty-two men 
killed and wounded, and his regiment, 
with six hundred men in action, had three 
hundred and forty-eight killed and woun- 
ded, which was altogether the heaviest 
loss sustained by any National regiment 
on the Held of Shiloh. He rejoined his 
company from a wounded furlough May 
29, 1802, and marched with the advance 
the day before the evacuation of Corinth, 
and, after returning from the pursuit of 
the enemy, served near that place until 
July. He was then employed at Burns- 
ville until October in guarding the rail- 
road, wlien he was moved to the railroad 
bridge three miltsfrom Corinth, where he 
served on out[iost duty during the battle 
of the 3d and 4th. He was then stationed 
atf Glendale until December, when he re- 
joined his regiment at Rienzi and served 
near Corinth until April, 18G3, when his 



regiment was mounted and attached to the 
second division of the Sixteenth Corps, 
Army of the Tennessee, and employed in 
making raids inside of the enemy's lines. 
He was actively employed in Alabama and 
Mississippi until the end of 18*1.3, and was 
engaged in the action at Cherokee and 
Lundy's Lane on the 17th of April (where 
he received a painful wound), and in the 
combats and skirmishes at Town Creek, 
Florence, Hamburg, Mud Creek, Rocky 
Run, Athens, Decatur, Morrisville, and 
other affairs of less importance. He was 
conspicuous for a successful defense of 
Athens, Ala., on the 26tb of January, 
1864, where the enemy, about eight hun- 
dred strong with two guns, under General 
Roddy, attacked him at three o'clock, A.M., 
for the purpose of capturing the govern- 
ment stores at that place and diverting at- 
tention from a movement having for its 
obji-ct the destruction of a railway trestle 
six miles to the rear on the Nashville 
road. Having been warned of the contem- 
plated movement, he met the enemy on 
the west ?ide of the town with about one 
hundred "jmen deployed as skirmishers, 
and, iL.lho'ugh driven back by overwhelm- 
ing numbers, he successfully delayed their 
advance and by excellent management so 
impressed the enemj^ with the belief that 
they had unexpectedly encountered a 
superi()r force that they abandoned the 
enterprise and retreated across the Ten- 
nessee River. General Roddj^'s report of 
the affair as published in a Southern news- 
paper said that after half an hour's hard 
tigbting he succeeded in driving the Na- 
tional troops from their encampment to the 
east side of the town, when he was com- 
pelled by the arrival of reinforcements to 
retire, having suffered a loss of seventeen 
men killed and wounded. Captain Adam 
received the special thanks of Major-Gen- 
eral G. M. Dodge for his gallant and valu- 
able services in holding the town, pre- 
venting the capture of the government 
stores, and frustrating the attempt to 
destroy the trestle-work, which, if it had 
been accomplished, would have seriously 
interfered with the operations of the Na- 
tional army. He was actively employed 
during the spring of 18G4 upon raids and 
reconnoissances on the Tennessee River, 
and on the 8th of March led the advance 
of his regiment across the river and biv- 
ouacked in the streets- of Decatur, and the 
next day engaged the enemy at Court- 
land, and again, on the 10th, at Nancy 
Creek. He then returned to Decatur, 
where a supply station was established, 
and was employed until May in making 
reconnoissances within the enemy's lines, 
and was engaged at Moulton on the 26th

of Marcli, nml nc;nin at the same place on 
the 20th, where the enemy proved too 
strong for the command and forced him 
to retreat with some loss. His regiment 
had now gained an enviable reputation 
for dash and audacity in penetrating the 
enemy's lines, and unusual efforts were 
made, without success, to entraj) and cap- 
ture it. He moved, in May, 1864, from De- 
catur to Chattanooga and participated in

sion. When the first detachment of the 
regiment moved from Fort ^McPherson in

tinued on duty at that station in charge

ment in the annual report for 1875-76, 
and says " that the aid furnished through 
the military service has had the effect to 
secure the greatest possible amount of 
work that could be obtained out of the 
money appropriated, probably nearly 
doubling the result that would have been 
obtained had the work been let to con- 
tractors." He also made new surveys of 
Camps Grant (including the timber lands 
of Mount Graham), Verde, Thomas,

recruiting service for the Thirty-ninth In- 
fantry and Ninth Cavalry. He was trans-

he served as a company commander, com- 
missary, and quartermaster until July, 
when ho was assigned to duty in the office 
of the chief signal officer of the army, 
where he served until June, 1881, and was 
employed as a station inspector, as super- 
intendent of the construction of military 
telegraph lines in Texas, and as a general 
assistant in the Wushington office. He 
was assigned to the command of the Arctic 
expedition of 1880, but the order was sub- 
sequently revoked because of an unfavor- 
able report made by a board of naval offi- 
cers upon the vessel which iiad been selected 
for the service. The Lady Franklin Hay 
expedition was then organized during the 
spring and summer of 188', and in July 
he sailed from St. John's, N. F., in com- 
mand, with the intention of remaining 
absent for two years. The' object of the 
expedition is to establish a supply and 
meteorological station at Lady Franklin 
Bay and make explorati()ns northward 
from that place. Lieutenant Greely was 
for six years a student of Arctic explora- 
tions, and his e'xperiences of twelve years 
in the signal service of the army, particu- 
larly in compiling observations and fore- 
casting the daily weather reports, have 
been such as to qualify him for the scien- 
tific part of the work, and it is hoped that 
the result of his researches will add valu- 
able information to the subject of Arctic 
explorations.

for the purpose of participating in a cam- 
jiaign against the hostile Sioux and Chey- 
ennes. He joined in the field on the 23d 
of October, and served with the battalion 
until the 30th of July, 1869. During this 
period he commanded an expedition on 
the western frontier of Kansas in the fall 
of 1868, and was engaged in the combats 
of the 18th, 2oth, and l>6th of October on 
Beaver and Shuter Creeks and on the 
north branch of Solomon River. He com- 
manded an expedition to the Canadian 
River during the winter of 1868-69; and 
when marching across the country, in May, 
1869, from Sheridan, Kan., to Fort Mc- 
Pherson, Neb., fought and defeated a 
large force of Cheyennes on Beaver Creek, 
Kan. He vigorously pursued the enemj' 
for three days, and again inflicted a severe 
loss upon them at Spring Creek, Neb. 
He commanded the expedition to the Re- 
publican Kiver during June and July, 
1869, and by a scries of brilliant operations 
against the savages opened that country' to 
settlement. He commanded in the aftair at 
Rock Creek, Col., and in the brilliant ac-

of July, where he signally defeated the 
band of Dog Soldiers under the celebrated 
Cheyenne chief Tall Bull, thus securing a 
lasting peace to the long-distracted fron- 
tiers of Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado. 
His conspicuous services during these oper- 
ations were esteemed of so much value and 
importance to the country that he received 
the congratulations of the department 
commander Brigadier-General Augur, of 
Lieutenant-General Sheridan, and of Gen- 
eral Sherman, and the thanks, by joint 
resolutions, of the Legislatures of Ne- 
braska and Colorado. He was stationed 



at Fort ]\[cPher=on, Neb., from the fall of 
1869 to the 27th of November, 1871, when 
he succeeded to the command of the regi-

six companies to the Department of Ari- 
zona. He arrived in January, 1872, at 
Camp McDowell, where the regiment was 
concentrated and distributed ; had station 
there until February, 1873, and was em- 
ployed part of the time on gi^neral court- 
martial duty at Prescott and San Fran- 
cisco. He was promoted lieutenant-col- 
onel of the Fourth Cavalry January 7, 
1873, but, without joining that regiment, 
exchanged with Lieut.-Col. Hatch, to date 
from April 10, 1873. He changed station, 
with the headquarters of the regiment, to 
Camp Lowell in February, 1873, where he 
served in charge of the construction of 
that post, until April, 1874, when he was 
sent to San Diego and Los Angeles as 
president of a board of officers which was 
convened to purchase cavalry horses. Upon 
.the completion of this duty he availed him- 
self of a sick-leave of absence and visited 
Europe. He resumed thecommand of the 
regiment at Fort Hays, Kan., in June, 
1875, and except a brief tour of field ser- 
vice in November, remained at that sta- 
tion until June, 1876. He was then trans- 
ferred, with the headquarters and eight 
companies, to Cheyenne, Wyo., for the 
purpose of participating in the Sioux cam- 
paign of that year. He moved from Chey- 
enne to Fort Laramie and operated in the 
country north and east of that place, and 
commanded the District of the Black Hills 
until he was relieved by Colonel Merritt. 
He then served with the regiment as sec- 
ond in command until the organization 
of the Big Horn and Yellowstone expedi- 
tion at Goose Creek, Mon., on the 4th of 
August, when he again succeeded to the 
command, which he retained until the ex- 
pedition was disbanded, on the 2-lth of Oc- 
tober, at Fort Robinson, Neb. He com- 
manded the regiment in the skirmishes at 
Slim Buttes, Dak., on the 9th and 10th of 
September. He was then assigned, with 
four companies, to Fort McPherson, where 
he arrived on the 7th of November and 
had station until the summer of 1879. 
He was detached, in July, 1877, to Chi- 
cago, where he commanded a battalion of 
cavalry during the railway riots. While 
East, on a 'brief leave of absence, he was 
assigned to duty as a member of a Retiring 
Board convened in New York City, where 
he served until the fall of 1879, when, 
having been promoted colonel of the Sixth

Emory, William H. Born in Queen 
Anne County, Md. He was graduated 
from the Military Academy on the 1st of 
July, 1831, and assigned to the Fourth 
Artillery as a brevet second lieutenant; 
the next June he was appointed a brevet 
third lieutenant in the Mounted Hangers, 
and was subsequently transferred to the 
Fourth Artillery as a second lieutenant, 
to date from July 1, 1831. He served 
during the ensuing five years at Forts 
McHenry and Severn, Md. ; at Charleston 
Harbor, S. C, during the period of the 
threatened nullification in that State ; at 
Forts Hamilton and Lafayette, N. Y., and 
in the operations in the Creek Nation in 
1836. He resigned his commission Sep- 
temlier 80, 1836, to accept, upon the invi- 
tation of the Secretary of War, an appoint- 
ment as an assistant United States civil 
engineer, that he might become eligible 
for an appointment in the Topographical 
Corps. He acted in this capacity until 
July 7, 1838, when he was reappointed in 
the army with the rank of a first lieutenant 
in the corps of Topographical Engineers. 
He was employed on harbor imjirovements 
in the Delaware River, 1839-42 ; as an as- 
sistant in the Topographical Bureau at 
"Washington, 1843-44, and as principal 
assistant on the Northeastern boundary 
survey between the United States and the 
British Provinces, 1844-46, and was con- 
spicuous for untiring application to the 
duties of his oflSce, and also for a proposal 
to continue the survej'S during the winter 
months on the ridges of the mountains 
separating the waters flowing into the St. 
Lawrence from those flowing in the At- 
lantic. He received in this connection the 
high commendations ot the British com- 
missioner, who afterwards died in the 
Crimea, holding the rank of adjutant- 
general of the British army. He served 
during the Mexican war as chief engineer 
of the Army of the West, which was organ- 
ized to conquer and hold New Mexico and 
California, and was acting assistant adju- 
tant-general for Brigadier-General Kear- 
ney, who comiTianded that army. He sub- 
sequently served as lieutenant-colonel of 
a regiment of Maryland and District of 
Columbia Volunteers on the line of Vera 
Cruz and the city of Mexico. He made, 
while serving with the Army of the West, 
ft reconnoissance of the route to California 
by the way of the Gila River, and his sur- 
vey is yet the foundation for maps of that 
route. He participated during the month 
of December, 1846, in the battle of San 
Pasqual and the skirmish of San Bernar- 
dino. General Kearney assigned him, at 



San Pasqual, to the command of a squad- 
ron of dragoons for a perilous and impor- 
tant servii'c, which he successfully accom- 
plished, winning his spurs and laying the 
foundation for his subsequent transfer to 
the cavalry. He also participated, in Jan- 
uary, 1847, in the passage of the San Ga- 
briel River and the skirmish of the Mesa. 
Tiiese aff'airs were important and hotly 
contested, and, with the surprise of San 
Luis Obispo, constituted all the organized 
resistance to the American occujiation of 
California. He was made a brevet cap- 
tain, to date from December 6, 1846, for 
gallant and meritorious conduct at the 
battle of San Pasqual ; and a brevet major, 
to date from January 9, 1847, fur gallant 
and meritorious conduct at the battles of 
San Gabriel and the Mesa. He declined 
an appointment of major in the Third 
Dragoons, to date from April 9, 1847, be- 
cause the regiment was only organized for 
and during the war with Mexico. He was 
on duty from 1848 to 1853 as chief astron- 
omer for the running of the boundary line 
between California and Mexico, and served 
on that work through all its vicissitudes 
in California, when the commissioner who 
was appointed never joined the survey, but 
expended the appropriation traveling in 
Mexico, until Capt. Emory was appointed 
by the President, in 1854, both commis- 
sioner and astronomer, with full powers, 
under the Gadsden treaty of December 30, 
1853. He completed the work in 1857 to 
the entire satisfaction of the government, 
and received the brevet of lieutenant-col- 
onel, to date from October 19, 1857, for 
valuable and distinguished services as 
commissioner for establishing the boun- 
dary line between the United States and 
the Republic of IMexico. While em]]loyed 
upon this work he was promoted a captain 
in his corps, to date from April 24, 1851, 
and- was appointed a major in the Fifth 
(old Second) Cavalry, to date from March 
3, 1855; but, without joining the regiment, 
was transferred. May 26, 1855, in that grade, 
to the Fourth (old "First) Cavalry. Dur- 
ing his long service in the Topographical 
— now the Engineer^Corps he was very 
active and deservedly consjiicuous for his 
surveys and in compiling and reducing to 
form such maps as existed of the country 
west of the Mississippi River. He aided 
and matured the plans for the survey of 
the railway routes to the Pacific, and sur- 
vey(d and first brought to notice the 
Southern Pacific route through Texas, the 
Paso del Norte, and Arizona, which was 
oblileratcd by the war of the Rebellion. 
He also prejiared three valuable works for 
publication, namely, "Notes of a Mililarj' 
Reconnoissance from Fort Leavenworth

to San Diego," " Notes of Travel in Cali- 
fornia," and "The lleport of the United 
States and iVFexican Houndary Comnus- 
sion." Major Emory joined bis regiment 
in Kansas and served during tlie border 
troubles of 1857, participated in the Utah 
expedition of 1858, and was stationed in 
the Indian Territory in 1859. He was a 
member of a board of officers which was 
convened January-April, 1860, to revise 
the progrannie of instruction at the Mil- 
itary Academy. He was then appointed 
an ins]iector-general, and made a tour of 
inspection on the Pacific coast, and re- 
turned to Washington in the early part 
of 1861, when he was informed by the 
general-in-chief that the political state of 
the country made it necessary for him to 
rejoin and assume the command of his 
regiment, then serving in the Indian Ter- 
ritory. He delayed, while cw route., two 
weeks at Fort Smith, Ark., waiting for 
the arrival of certain persons who had 
promised, in the presence of General 
Scott, to meet him there in the interests 
of the government; but as they did not 
come, and learning that another officer 
had been detailed for the position which 
he had relinquished, he fell into the error 
of believing that he had been ordered to 
distant service that the obstacle might be 
removed which prevented the appointment 
of another to that office, and he forwarded 
his unconditional resignation and resumed 
his journey ; but receiving on the same 
daj' a dispatch announcing that hostilities 
had begun at Fort Sumter, he immedi- 
ately, by letter and telegram, recalled the 
resignaiion, dismi-sed all personal feelings 
from his mind, and hastened forward to 
his new field of duty, traveling mainly 
by night, without an escort, and upon ar- 
rival at Fort Washita late in April found 
himself the senior officer on the northern 
frontier of Texas. He was •vertaken near 
Perryville by a Confederate agent, who 
informed him that the Texas insurgents 
were prejiared to capture the military sta- 
tions in the Indian Territory, as had al- 
ready been accomplished in that State, 
and that the troops would be held as pris- 
oners of war unless they joined the in- 
surrectionary forces: the agent then an- 
nounced that he was authorized to offer 
Major Emory the command of the Con- 
federate forces in that section with the 
rank of a major-general, but the emissary 
received such an emphatic and indignant 
refusal that he drove away more rapidly 
than lie had apjiroached. The orders which 
Major Emory had received from the gen- 
eral-in-chief were conditional. If afiairs 
remained unchanged he was to establish 
himself at Fort Arbuckle ; but if Arkansas 



should pass an ordinance of secession he 
was to assume command of the troops in 
tile Indian Territory, including the gar- 
rison at Fort Smith. The failure of the 
persons heretofore mentionenl to meet him 
at Fort Smitli, and the incident at Perry- 
ville, convinced him that not only Texas 
but also Arkansas and the Indian Terri- 
tory were in a state of insurrection, and 
that a conspiracy existed to capture the 
United States troops in that section. He 
therefore determined to proceed to Fort 
Washita instead of Fort Arbuckle, and 
exercise his authority to the utmost limit 
for the purpose of defeating the plans of 
the enemy ; and upon his own responsi- 
bility, he ordered a raind concentration of 
the cavalry at Fort Washita and of the 
infantry at Fort Arbuckle, with the in- 
tention of holi!ing both posts until he was 
reinforced or directed to retire. But he 
met at the threshold of these movements 
the physical obstacle of a deficiency of 
transportation, and above all the moral 
obstacle of a want of belief by those under 
his command that a rebellion against the 
United States was already begun or that 
nny necessity existed for such a concentra- 
tion, while the commanders of all the 
posts, except Fort Smith, insisted that he 
was exceeding his authority, exposing the 
frontiers to hostile Indians, and affording 
the secessionists an excuse and opportunity 
to rise against the government. Thej' car- 
ried this opposition so far as to forward 
their protests to the War Department. 
But before five companies had assembled 
at Fort Washita the condition of affiiirs 
became so critical and the enemy's forces 
moving against him so great that he was 
compelled to abandon the country. He 
did not act a day too soon. The enemy 
moved so rapidly that it became impossible 
to carry out his original plans. He aban- 
doned Fort Washita, first destroying all 
supplies that he could not take with him, 
and moved to the rear of Fort Arbuckle, 
ordering the companies which had been 
directed to assemble there to join him pre- 
pared for a forced march to the open 
prairies. Fort Arbuckle was abandoned 
on the 4th of March after the flag had 
been lowered with military honors, and 
the concenti-ation as ordeied was success- 
fully accomplished, exce)it the garrison 
from Fort Cobb, which joined him on the 
third day thereafter. Just then an of- 
ficer reported to Major Emory with dis- 
patches from General Scott, directing him 
to do precisely what had already been 
done ; but if he had waited for these in- 
structions bef ire taking any action not a 
soldier would have escaped. On the same 
daj' the advance guard of the enemy came

in view. A squadron of cavalry was de- 
taclied with orders to cajjture them, which 
was successfully accomplished, and Major 
Emory then learned that the enemy, four 
thousand strong, were within a day's 
march of his rear, while another force of 
two tliousand men were marching from 
Arkansas towards,Fort Gibson, exjiecting 
that the United States troops would pass 
that post, as it was on the line of the 
shortest route to Kansas, and where, if the 
Texans failed to overtake them, the Ar- 
kansas troops could intercept their retreat 
and capture them, or hold them in check 
until reinforcements arrived. The judi- 
cious action of Major Emory had thus far 
antiei]iated the wishes of the general-in- 
chief, and as tliere was no object to be 
gained by holding his command in that 
country, and being unable to contend 
against the overwhelming numbers which 
were threatening his rear and flank, he 
marched rapidly towards Fort Leaven- 
worth, where he arrived on the 31st of 
May, without the loss of a man, a horse, 
or a wagon, and won the conspicuous honor 
of being the only ofHoer on the frontiers 
who had baffled the designs of the enemy 
and brought his entire command out of 
the insurrectionary country. The forces 
thus rescued from capture bj' his judg- 
ment and energy con-isted of live com- 
panies of cavalry, seven companies of in- 
fantry, and four pieces of artillery. These 
troops were of great importance beyond 
the consideration of numbers, as their 
timely arrival restored contidence to the 
friends of the government in that section, 
while they formed the nucleus of General 
Lyon's army and probably prevented the 
secessionists from forcing Missouri into 
the rebellion. His promotion to the lieu- 
tenant-colonelcy of the Fourth (old First) 
Cavalry, to date from January 31, 18G1, 
was announced, on the 3d of April, in or- 
ders from the War Department ; but upon 
his arrival at Fort LeavenWorth he learned 
to his surprise that his resignation as a 
■major had been accepted, to date from 
May 9, 18G1. He immediately repaired to 
Washington, when the President tendered 
him the lieutenant-colonelcy of the Sixth 
(old Third) Cavalry, to date from May 14, 
1861. He acctpted the a])pointment and 
proceeded, in July, to Pittsburg, Pa., 
where he recruited and organized the en- 
tire regiment, and then moved it in the 
latter part of August to Bladensburg, 
where the men were mounted and prepared 
for the field. The regiment was then or- 
dered to Washington, and served in the 
defenses of the city during the winter of 
1801-02. He participated in the Manas- 
sas and Virginia Peninsular campaigns, 



moving with his regiment early in March 
against the enemy, who were abandoning 
their works at Centreville, Va., ar;d pur- 
sued the rear-guard to Warrenton Junc- 
tion, when he was ordered to Alexandria, 
and on his way to that place wus aj)pointe(i 
a brigadier-general of volunteers, to date 
from March 17, 1802, and was soon there- 
after placed in command of the brigade of 
regular cavalry, with which he eml>arked 
at Alexandria and proceed'd to Hampton 
Koads. He participated in the siege of 
Yorktown, where on the morning of the 
evacuation he was ordered to the front, 
and by a prompt and vigorous pursuit in- 
tercepted the enemy's rear-guard ; but his 
forces being inadequate to hold them with- 
out reinforcements, they succeeded in es- 
caping under cover of the night. He was 
lett with his command to guard the branch 
of the Lee's Mill road which leads to Al- 
len's farm, and the next morning it was 
ascertained that the enemy's right at Wil- 
liamsburg could be turned by this route. 
Troops were S( nt to him with oi'ders to 
make the attack ; but because of a lack of 
knowledge of the ground and the lateness 
of the hour he did not succeed in the 
movement, which, if successful, might 
have produced important results. General 
Emory commanded the brigade of regu- 
lar cavalry at the battle of Hanover Court- 
House, where he distinguished himself by 
separating the wings of the Confederate 
army, capturing many prisoners, including 
a North Carolina regiment, and in push- 
ing his cavalry to the front and right, 
effectually destroying the railway bridges 
between Hanover Junction and the Chick- 
ahominy, and driving the eneni}' out of 
Ashland. He was twice thanked on the 
field by the general commanding for the 
success of his brilliant operations, and at a 
later day received the brevet of eohmel, to 
date from M«y 27, 1802, for gallant and 
meritorious services. After General Stu- 
art's celebrated raid around the Army of 
the Potomac, which General Emory at- 
tempted to intercept with the Sixth Penn- 
sylvania Lancers where the Yorktown 
road crosses the Pamunkey and Kichmond 
Railway, he was chiefly employed on out- 
post duty in guarding the line of the Pa- 
munkey up to Hanover Court-House until 
the Confederates, under General Jackson, 
passed down and opened the battle of 
Gaines' Mill. He was then to tiie rear, 
and on the left flank, of the enemy, occu- 
jiying Hanover Old Church, with his 
scouts covering the road to Hanover 
Court-House. He at once destroyed all 
the crossings on the Tolopotomy, ob- 
structed the highways, and assembled his 
forces where the road crossed the main

highway to Rifhmond. The enemy, how- 
ever, pn-sed to the left, hut their proiiress 
was seriously impeded by the activity of 
General Emory's skirmishers. • About 
noon on the 2()th of June lie was ordered 
to fall back to Old Church, which he was 
reluctant to do, as he was well to the rear, 
and on the left flank, of the enemy, and in 
an adviintajjjeous position to attack ; but 
the ord(!r beinu: repeated, he slowly retired 
as the National forces were jiressed back 
by the enemy, still holding the Pamuiikey 
road and being most of the time to the rear 
of the enemy's left flank, until he was 
ordered, with other forces, to cover the 
retreat at the White House Landing, from 
which point General McClellan had de- 
termined to transfer the National base of 
supplies to the James River. General 
Emory was then ordered to Yorktown, 
whei-e, after a brief service, he embarked 
his brigade at Hampton Roads, and ar- 
rived at Harrison's Landing about the 
4th of July, when, it being deemed im- 
practical)le to continue the organization of 
the brigade, he was assigned to the com- 
mand of the First Brigade, Second Divis- 
ion, of the Fourth Army Corps. He re- 
tained this command while the army re- 
mained at Harrison's Landing and during 
the retrograde movement to Yorktown, 
which place he was ordered to occupy 
and prepare for defense — a task involving 
great labt)r, not only in reconstructing the 
works, Imt also in leveling the approaches 
which had been thrown up by the Army 
of the Potomac during the siege of the 
preceding April. He was relieved from 
this duty, at his own request, for field 
service about the end of September and 
ordered to Baltimore, where he was placed 
in command of the new troops at that 
jilace for the purjiose of organizing a 
division. On the 10th of November he 
embarked with six regiments on ocean 
steamers and sailed to Old Point, where 
lie was joined by other regiments and 
placed in command of all the forces, num- 
bering about twelve thousand men. He 
sailed on the 4th of December, with six- 
teen vessels, for Ship Island, where he 
arrived on the loth, and thence, six days 
later, for New Orleans, where he arrived 
on the 21st, and on January 3, 18G3, he 
was ])laced in command of the troops at 
Carrollton, La., and of the Third Division 
of the Nineteenth Army Corps. He 
moved his division, in March, to Baton 
Rouge, and, on the 13th, marched thence 
and attacked Port Hudson to create a di- 
version to enable Admiral Farragut to 
pass that place with his fleet. He then 
proceeded to the Teche country, where, on 
the 13th of April, he attacked Bisland, a 



strongly fortified camp of the enemy, the 
defense of which was aided by gunboats. 
His division made the direct attack, which 
drove the Confederates within their works 
and forced their retreat during the night, 
which he followed to Alexandria, march- 
ing one hundred miles in four days. He 
was assigned, in June, to command the 
defenses of New Orleans while General 
Banks' army was occupied with the sicgo 
of Port Hudson. He had only sixteen 
hundred men, and, this fact coming to the 
knowledge of the enemy, a large army 
was moved against the city, either to cap- 
ture it or force an abandonment of the 
siege of Port Hudson ; but General Phnory 
was equal to the emergency, and when the 
enemy crossed the Plaquemine and moved 
down the 15ayou Lafourche for the pur- 
pose of seizing Brashear City and attack- 
ing New Orleans in the rear, he dispatched 
all his forces to the place where the rail- 
way crossed the Bayou Lafourche, and in 
two engagements (June 21-22) defeated 
the enemy with a severe loss, but Brashear 
City was cut off and fell into their hands. 
The enemy then moved against Fort But- 
ler, at Donaldsonville, which had been left 
almost without a garrison, notwithstand- 
ing the works commanded the passage of 
the river. General Emory succeeded, with 
the assistance of the naval forces, in rein- 
forcing the fort, and then awaited the 
assault, which was begun with great vigor 
about one o'clock a.m. on the 28th of 
June, and handsomely repulsed with a 
heavy loss to the enemy. He then re- 
turned his forces to New Orleans, and 
was actively engaged in strengthening 
the defenses of the city when the fall of 
Port Hudson, on the 8th of July, relieved 
the place from further danger, and he 
was returned to the command of his 
division in the Nineteenth Corps. A few 
weeks later he was compelled to go 
North for medical treatment, and upon 
his return (about which time he was pro- 
moted to the colonelcy of the Fifth Cav- 
alry, to date from October 27, 1803) joined 
the army at New Iberia, and was assigned 
to the command of the First Division of 
the Nineteenth Corps, and moved to 
Franklin, where he commanded the corps 
during a part of January, 1804. His 
division moved in March, 1804, as a part 
of the Red River expedition, and met the 
fleet, under Admiral Porter, at Alexan- 
dria. The enemy attacked the advance- 
guard of the army at Sabine Cross-Roads 
on the 8th of April, driving them back 
with considerable loss and capturing 
a large number of guns and wagons. 
General Emory, then in the rear, was 
ordered to the front, and, after a rapid 



362 



KECORDS OF LIVING OFFICERS U.S. ARMY, 



inarch of three miles, met the men, who 
were retreatin<? with the report tliat they 
had been badlj' dpfeated. Failing to check 
them, he moved forward at a double- 
quick and formed a single line of battle 
in an advantageous position on the brow 
of a hill. The enemy came dashing on 
in three disorderly columns, evidently 
believing that they had only to light a re- 
treating rear-guard, but they received 
such a steady and terrific fire that within 
half an hour they retreated and disap- 
peared from his front. His prompt and 
decisive conduct upon this occasion res- 
cued General Banks' army from a great 
peril, if not from an irretrievable disas- 
ter, and if there had been any cavalry 
available at the moment when he so suc- 
cessfully repulsed the enemy they could 
have retaken all the guns and wagons 
which had been captured during the 
morning. The army retired during the 
night to a position in front of the village 
of Pleasant Hill, where it was reformed, 
Avith the right of General Emory's divis- 
ion resting on the edge of a swamp, 
while the left, extending into an open 
Held, was to be supported by the Seven- 
teenth Corps. On the afternoon of the 
9th the enemy drove in the pickets, and 
having discovered the exposed condition 
of the left flank at once attacked it, and 
completely enveloped the First and Sec- 
ond Brigades of his division ; but a part 
of the Seventeenth Corps coming to his 
assistance, a counter-charge was hand- 
somely made, which not only resulted in 
recovering the position, but also in rout- 
ing the enemy and driving them from the 
Held. Meanwhile the fleet was compelled, 
owing to the low stage of water, to steam 
down the river. This forced the army to 
abandon Pleasant Hill and retire to Grand 
Ecore, whence was begun the march for 
Alexandria, and upon arrival at Cheney- 
ville it was ascertained that the enemy 
intended to dispute the crossing at Cane 
River, General Emory was informed 
about midnight by General Franklin, 
who was in command during the tempo- 
rary absence of General Banks, that he 
was sufl'ering too much from a wound to 
ride on horseback and that the command 
was passed to him. General Emory gave 
such orders as seemed necessary, and at 
daybreak (April 23) marched against the 
enemy and found them strongly posted 
and })repared for battle. He engaged atten- 
tion by an attack in front while two strong 
forces were moved across the river, above 
and below the crossing, and as the force 
from above struck the enemy's rear and 
flank General Emory vigorously pushed 
the attack in front, when the enemy be- [ 



came panic-stricken and fled from the 
field. The crossing of the army was then 
accomplished without further molestation, 
and it arrived at Alexandria in time to 
assist the fleet over the bar which ob- 
structed the ]ias-age at that place, when 
the fleet continued clown the river and the 
army resumed the march towards Atcha- 
falaya. He succeeded, on the ith of May, 
to the command of the Nineteenth Corps, 
and a few days later was engaged with 
the enemy at Marksville. He received 
for his services in this campaign the bre- 
vet of major-general of volunteers, to 
date from July 23, ISiU, and two days later 
was assigned, by direction of the Presi- 
dent, to duty according to his brevet rank. 
The army separated at Atchafalaya, and 
General Emory was sent to Morganzia 
with instructions to prepare his troops for 
a participation in the attack on Mobile; 
but when he was ready to embark for this 
service the order was countermanded and 
he was dispatched, early in July, with two 
divisions of his corps to City Point, and 
upon arrival at Fort Monroe was or- 
dered to co-operate with the Sixth Corps 
in the defense of Washington, which place 
he reached with the advance of his com- 
mand on the day that General Early 
threatened the city. His arrival was very 
timely, as on the morning of the 11th of 
July General Early was near the fortifica- 
tions covering the northern ajiproach to 
the capital, and in the afternoon the Con- 
federate infantry were in front of Fort 
Stevens. It is now on record in the War 
Department that the Confederates had a 
full knowledge of the arrival of the Nine- 
teenth Corps, and that this was one of 
the considerations which determined 
General Early to retire. General Em- 
ory was at once dispatched in jiursuit of 
the retreating enem3', who were followed 
to the crossing of the Shenandoah, where 
an order was received to retire to the 
Monocacy, whence the troops were moved 
by rail to Harper's Ferry and the adjacent 
country. Shortly thereafter the several 
corps were united as the Army of the 
Shenandoah. A succession of marches, 
countermarches, and combats ensued until 
the 19th of September, when the battle of 
Winchester was fought ; here General 
Emory was conspicuously engaged, and, 
with his corps, contributed largely to the 
brilliant success of the day, although, 
owing to a delay occasioned by the move- 
ment of the Sixth Corps, the head of his 
column did not arrive on the field of 
battle until mid-day. This delay was 
charged by Mr. Swinton as the fault of 
General Emory — an injustice which he 
afterwards corrected in a revised edition

of his history. A few days later Gom'ral 
Eiruiry }iartioipatcd in the batth; of 
Fisher's Hill, where his corps (with the 
Sixth) attacked, at noon, the strongly- 
intrenched camp in front, by the main 
road, and captured the rifle-pits; and 
then, under the fire of the enemy's ^uns, 
opened trenches, erected earth-batteries, 
and held the position until the Eighth 
Corps turned (general Early's flank and 
sent him whii-ling up the Valley. His 
corps pursued the enemy all night, having 
an engagement with the rear-guard, and 
arrived at Woodstock at daybreak the 
next morning. The pursuit was continued 
to Harrisonburg, when the army was re- 
called and encamped on the east side of 
Cedar Creek, where was fouglit, on the 
19th of October, the last battle of the 
war for the possession of thi' Shenandoah 
Valley, and where the steadfastness of the 
Nineteenth Corps, after tfie first surprise, 
did much to hold the enemy in check 
during the disasters of the morning and 
contributed largely to the splendid vic- 
tory of the afternoon. The defeat vf the 
Eighth Corps about daybreak left the 
Nineteenth Corjis exposed in flank and 
rear ; but the men always paraded at 
reveille under arms, and this custom, 
together with the fact that a large part of 
the corps was to have made a reconnois- 
sance that morning and was at breakfast 
when the attack was made, saved it from 
sharing the fate of the Eighth Corps. 
General Emory had two horses killed 
under him durini; the first quarter-hour 
of the battle. When the fog lifted at 
eight o'clock a.m. the men of the corps 
had done some good fighting, retained 
their organization and obeyed their ofH- 
cers, although they had passed through a 
fearful ordeal. A part of their artillery 
had been abandoned, while portions of the 
corps had made a desperate resistance and 
had met with severe losses under very de- 
pressing circumstances — the crossing of 
the corps over Meadow Creek for the pur- 
pose of rallying the men having been 
made at the sacrifice of nearly half the 
One Hundred and Fourteenth New York 
Volunteers, which nobly held the enemy 
in check until the crossing could be 
effected. While in the confusion and un- 
certainty of the first attack the corps had 
lost many men, it was steady the re- 
mainder of the day, and the men reformed 
after crossing Meadow Creek, with greatly 
depleted ranks, but with unabated cour- 
age, which was strengthened by the pres- 
ence of thi'ir skillful and vigorous com- 
mander ; their crowning triumph of the 
day was the charge made by the First 
Division — the beginning of the end — 



which sealed the fate of General Early on 
that field and in the Shenandnah Valley, 
and drove him behind the intrenchments 
of Fisher's Hill. General Emory received 
the brevet of brigadier-general, to date 
from March 13, 18()5, for services at the 
battle of Fisher's Hill and during the 
campaign in the Shenandoah Valley ; and 
the brevet of major-general, to date from 
March 13, 1865, for services at the battle 
of Cedar Creek ; and on the 7th of No- 
vember he was assigned, by the President, 
to the permanent command of the Nine- 
teenth Corps. The army was established 
in winter-quarters near Winchester until 
February, 1865, when General Sheridan 
moved up the Valley with his cavalry to 
raid in the rear of the enemy, leaving 
General Emory in command of the forces 
remaining at that place. The Nini'teenth 
Corps was discontinued in March, and he 
was then placed in command of the De- 
partment of West Virginia, with his head- 
quarters at Cumberland, Md. He con- 
tinued in this position until January 15, 
18(36, when he was mu.stered out of volun- 
teer service as a major-general, having 
been commissioned in that grade Sept. 
25, 1865. He assumed the command of the 
regiment at Washington City in March, 
1866, which he retained until Novem- 
ber, 1871, and was also employed during 
this period in command of the garrison and 
Department of Washington, 1866-68, and 
the command of Fort McPherson and the 
District of the Kepublican, in the Depart- 
ment of the Platte, 1869-71. He also 
served, in 1866, as a member of the Ex- 
amining Board on civilian appointments 
to the army, as a member of a Ketiring 
Board in 1867, and as a member of the 
Cavalry Tactics Board in 1868-69. He 
was detached from the regiment in No- 
vember, 1871, and assigned to the com- 
mand of the Department of the Gulf, 
with his headquarters at New Orleans, 
and remained on this duty until March, 
1875, whi'n he was relieved and placed on 
waiting orders. The full history of afiai: a 
in Louisiana during this period is not yet 
given to the public, but events thus far 
transpired seem to justify his official acts 
while he was exercising that command, 
which was the most difficult he ever had, 
and, all tilings considered, the most suc- 
cessful ; but a discussion would involve 
some criticism and a knowledae which no 
person could possess without having been 
at New Orleans during his administration. 
When the Pre.-ident became acquainted 
with all the facts he apparently regretted 
that he had yielded to the demand for a 
change of dej)artment commander, and 
strongly advocated General Emory's pro-

motion upon his retirement from active 
service. He returned to duty in October, 
1875, as president of a Ketiriui^ Board, 
and so continued until July 1, 1870, when 
he was retired from active service under 
an Act of Congress of June 20, 1876, with 
the rank of a brigadier-ironeral as a recog- 
nition of long and faithful service, em- 
bracing a period of furty-three years, 
during ten of which he had discharged 
the duties of a general ofBcer. His home 
is in Washington City, where he is uni- 
versally esteemed, and he enjoys a na- 
tional reputation as a gallant soldier who 
has devoted the best years of an active 
life to the service of his country.

Mcintosh, John B. Born in Fla. Ap- 
pointed from at large. Second lieutenant 
in the Fifth (old Second) Cavalry June 
8, 1861, and joined at Darnestown, Md., 
on the 27th of June, and participated in 
General Patterson's Shenandoiih cam- 
jiaign, and was engaged in the action at 
Falling Waters and in the skirmishes 
near ^lartinsburg and Bunker Hill. He 
was constantly employed on picket and 
reconnoissance duty until the 14th of Sep- 
tember, when he was transferred to 
Washington and served in the defenses of 
the city during the winter of 1861-62. He 
participated in the Manassas, Virginia 
Peninsular, and Maryland campaigns, 
and was engaged in the skirmish at 
Cedar Run, where he led his squadron in 
a charge against the enemy's pickets and 
forced their retreat across the stream ; the 
siege of Yorktown, the battle of Williams- 
burg, and in almost daily skirmishes with 
the enemy during the advance towards 
Richmond ; the battle of Hanover Court- 
House and the reconnoissance towards 
Ashland. He was appointed, on the 11th 
of June, quartermaster and commissary 
of the Regular Cavalry Brigade, and con- 
tinued on that duty until the 10th of Jul}', 
and displayed much energy and ability in 
conducting his train to Malvern Hill and 
thence to Harrison's Landing. He was 
assigned by General McClellan, on the 
11th of July, to the command of the 
Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers, 
the colonel having been killed in action. 
He obtained permission to wait upon the 
governor of Pennsylvania and solicit the 
colonelcy of that regiment, and, having 
been provided with favorable letters from 
Generals McClellan, Newton, and Frank- 
lin, he jiresented them in person ; but the 
governor, while recognizing the recom- 
mendations of these distinguished oiRcers, 
considered it his duty to bestow the com- 
mission upon the lieutenant-colonel, 
whereupon Lieutenant Mcintosh returned 
at once to the regiment. He was engaged 
in the skirmish at Sycamore Church, 
where he made a gallant charge upon the 



enemy, and was specially commended in 
the rtqiort of General McClellan for his 
conduct. He was distinguished in a skir- 
mish in the White Oak Swamp (where 
the Eighteenth Virginia Cavalry was de- 
feated), and won the brevet of major, to 
date from August 5, 1862, for gallant and 
meritorious services. He served with the 
regiment as a part of the rear-guard of the 
Army of the Potomac dui-ing the evacua- 
tion of the Peninsula, and was engaged in 
the battles of South Mountain and An- 
tietain, tlie pursuit of the cncMiiy tf) the 
Potomac, and the skirmish near Shep- 
herdstown. He was ])romoted a tirst lieu- 
tenant June 27, 1862, and was appointed 
colonel of the 'Third Pennsylvania Cav- 
alry November 15, 1862, ami immediately 
assumed command of his regiment, and 
was actively employed during the winter 
of 1862-63 in maintaining an extended 
picket-line on the right flank of the Na- 
tional army. He was ordered, on the 15th 
of February, 1863, to destroy the Orange 
and Ale.\ander Railroad bridge at the 
Rap]>ahannock station. A division of in- 
fantry ordered to create a diversion in his 
favor was forced, by severe storm, to re- 
turn on the first day. He was informed 
of the withdrawal of the infantry support 
and authorized to return, if, in his judg- 
ment, the storm would prevent a success- 
ful execution of his orders. He decided 
to push forward, and towards the end of 
the second day had his command (five 
hundred cavalrymen) concealed in a belt 
of woods contiguous to the bridge. He 
there received another mes.-age authoriz- 
ing him to return without executing his 
orders; but he continued his jireparations 
for the attack, and when all was ready 
moved rapidly towards the bridge and 
drove the enemy across the stream. He 
then dismounted his men, formed a skir- 
mish-line on the banks, and held the po- 
sition, under the fire of the enemy, while 
his axe-men cut the supports of the 
bridge and burnt it, and also destroyed 
a small bridge across Tin-pnt Run. He 
worked all night, and, having executed 
his orders, started for the main army, 
which he rejoined on the 18th of Feb- 
ruary, and was deservedly complimented 
upon the successful termination of his 
hazardous undertaking. When General 
Hcjoker reorganized, in January, 1863, 
the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac 
into a cavalry corps, Colonel ^IcTntosh 
was selected to command the Second Bri- 
gade of the Second Division. He was en- 
gaged with his brigade in the action at 
Kelly's Ford, March 17, 1863, which was 
the first cavalry combat of the war in 
which a division was enga^red on either

side. Genonil Averill, ^vho commanded 
the Second Division, reported to the Sec- 
retar}'^ of War that " to the intrepidity, 
promptitude, and excellent judgment of 
Mcintosh on that occasion our success 
was chiefly attributable." He commanded 
his brigade in the battle of Chancellors- 
ville, and was first engaged with the en- 
emy's cavalry, which were driven from 
Kelly's Ford, on the Rappahannock, be- 
yond Rapidan station, tiius covering the 
operations of General Buford's column 
under General Stoneman, and insuring 
his unobstructed march to the rear of 
General Lee's army. He was then re- 
called to the main army (crossing at 
Ely's Ford) while the battle of Chancel- 
lorsville was in progress. He was trans- 
ferred, on the 22d of June, to the com- 
mand of the P^irst Brigade of the Second 
Division, then commanded by General 
(D. M. M.) Gregg, and participated in 
the Pennsylvania campaign, and was en- 
gaged on the right of the National army 
at the battle of Gettysburg, where he re- 
sisted General Stuart's efforts to turn that 
flan Ik, and began the cavalry combat al- 
most iiJimediately after his brigade had 
relieved General Custer, who was ordered 
to join General Kilpatrick on the left of 
the armj'. Being convinced that the en- 
emy's oavali'v were in force near his right 
front, he ordered a regiment to advance 
and take possession of a stone barn inter- 
mediate between the two lines, and then 
press the enemy's pickets. This move- 
ment having developed that the enemy 
were in the woods to the right of the Han- 
over road, Colonel Mcintosh moved with 
the other regiments of his brigade to the 
support of his advanced line, and, finding 
himself greatly outnumbered, called for 
reinforcements, which were promptly fur- 
nished by sending General Irwin Gregg's 
brigade to his assistance and ordering the 
immediate return of General Custer's bri- 
gade. General Gregg then assumed com- 
mand of the entire force, and a stubborn 
cavalry combat raged for some time, and 
until Colonel Mcintosh, who had pushed 
a regiment well down on the enemy's 
flank, ordered a charge, which was hand- 
somely executed, and after several charges 
and counter-eharges the enemy withdrew 
from that flank of the National army. On 
the morning of the 4th he was dispatched 
to the left and instructed to march thence 
to Emmittsburg and intercept the Confed- 
erate cavalry. He arrived at the town at 
half-past seven o'clock a m. of the 5th, to 
learn that the main body had passed two 
hours in advance of his arrival ; but, find- 
ing a squadron serving as a rear-guard for 
the infantry, he charged it so vigorously 



that the commanding officer in his ha=ty 
retreat dropped a letter which indicated 
the position each Confederate corps would 
occupy that night. This letter, which 
gave the flrst information of the exact 
whereabouts of the corps of the Confed- 
erate army, was at once forwarded to the 
cavalry headquarters. He then pushed 
his command over the mountains and 
overtook the rear of one of the Confed- 
erate corps, which he attacked so vigor- 
ously that it was compelled to form a skir- 
mish line to the rear. At this juncture he 
was ordered to report to General Sedgwick, 
when he was attached to a brigade of in- 
fantry, and the united force was instructed 
to pursue the enemy over the mountains 
by the same road from which he had just 
been recalled. This movement was con- 
tinued to Waynesboro', when he moved 
to Leitersburg, where he had a sharp 
action with the enem3''s infantry, and a 
few daj's thereafter he rejoined the main 
army at Funkstown, Md. He was made 
a brevet lieutenant-colonel, to date from 
July .3, 1863, for gallant and meritorious 
services at the battle of Gettysburg. After 
the Confederate army had recrossed the 
Potomac at Williamsport, Md., he was 
ordered to Harper's Ferry, where, with 
his division, he crossed the river and 
marched on Shepherdstown, and engaged 
the enemy's cavalry (under General Fitz- 
hugh Lee) in an obstinate all-da\' fight, 
but at nightfall the contending forces 
evacuated their positions. He then moved 
to Warrenton, and during August and 
until the 18th of September was employed 
on picket and reconnoissance duty, when 
he was ordered to cross Hazel Run 
and approach Culpepper from the right. 
The entire cavalry corps moving foiv 
ward, a warm engagement followed, 
and the enemy retired behind the town, 
having suffered a considerable loss 
in men and guns. Colonel Mcintosh, with 
his brigade on the right, again encoun- 
tered the enemy soon after leaving Cul- 
pepper and forced tfiem into a retreat, 
which he followed all day, and encamped 
for the night near Cedar Mountain. He 
was again engaged on the 14th and 15th 
at the Ra]iidan, across which river the 
enemy had retired. He then returned to 
Culpepper, and marched thence with his 
brigade to Catlett Station to guard the 
Orange & Alexandria Railroad, and con- 
tinued on that duty until the 1st of Oc- 
tober, when he was severely injured by a 
fall from his horse and sent to Washing- 
ton for medical treatment, where he re- 
mained until the 14th, when he was ap- 
pointed commandant of the cavalry station 
at Giesboro' Point, and continued in com-

mand of the station, drilling, equippinc^, 
and iiudiulinu; now re<i;inieiits of cavalry 
and scndini;- them to the front, until May 
4, 18()4, when he rejoined the army of the 
Potomac, and was assigned, on the 5th, to 
command the First Brigade of the Third 
Cavalrj' Division, which was then at Par- 
ker's Store, on the Oi'ange & Alexandria 
Railroad. Upon his arrival there he 
found only one regiment of his hrigade 
(the others having gone to Todd's Tavern), 
and at once deployed it as skirmishers, 
being convinced that a heavy infantry 
force was moving against him, which 
proved to be so. He held his position 
with great tenacity, fell back slowly, and 
twice endeavored to have the force on his 
right extended to the left so as to cover 
the plank-road ; but failing to receive any 
assi^tance, he communicated with General 
Meade, stating his position. In a short 
time an answer came to hold the road 
until a division of the Sixth Corps could 
relieve him. When it arrived his skir- 
niisli line had been forced back to within 
fifty yards of the Brock road. In the 
mean time the Second Corps, commanded 
by Geiieral Hancock, which had crossed 
Ely's Ford, was recalled from Todd's 
Tavern, and, taking a position on the left 
of the division of the Sixth Corps, the line 
at Parker's Store, which Colonel Mclii- 
tosh had been compelled to abandon, was 
retaken. He was entitled to great credit 
for his quick conception of the situation 
and the preempt action taken to obtain re- 
inforcements to hold the position. The 
other regiments of his brigade having re- 
turned with the Second Division, he as- 
sumed command at the Burnt Chimneys, 
and was continuously engaged on the left 
of the army until the right of the Sixth 
Corfis had been driven from theCermania 
plank-road, and a dispatch had been for- 
warded to headquarters that the enemy 
held theGermania Ford and the road lead- 
ing from it. He was then moved to the 
right lo ascertain the condition of affairs, 
but while his brigade was deplo^'ed and 
approaching the road he was ordered to 
ri'turn to the left. He informed General 
Meade of his movement and the order just 
received, when he was instructed to exe- 
cute the (original order ; and by invitation 
he accompanied General Meade to Gen- 
eral Sedgwick's headquarters, and, after 
some conversation had passed between the 
two generals, volunteered to ascertain the 
true condition of aft'airs. Taking two 
aides, he rode rapidly down the plank- 
road toward the ford, and, having ascer- 
tained that the reports were not true, sent 
a dis]iatch to General Sedgwick which in- 
formed him of the situation, and remained 



on the ground directing the movements of 
the cavalry on that flanic and pushing the 
force to the front so far as possitde to as- 
certain the exact position of the enemy. 
These arrangements being completed, he 
returned to the headquarters, to find (Jen- 
erals Grant and Meade already mounted 
and about to begin the first grand flank 
movement to the left. He then recalled 
his brigade and returned to the left of the 
army, where he rejoined his divisit)n. On 
the 8th of May he was ordered with the 
Second Cavalry Division to Spottsylvania, 
his brigade having the advance, and, find- 
ing the court-house occupied by the enemy, 
he charged and drove them away, and 
captured the town and many prisoners. 
He then moved to the right and attacked 
General Longstreet's corps in the rear, 
and only withdrew when ordered to do 
so by General Sheridan. On the 10th 
of May (the cavalry corps being on the 
march towards Richmond for the purpose 
of destroying General Lee's communica- 
tions with that city) he covered the cross- 
ing of the South Anna River at Squirrel 
Bridge, and ])rotected the cavalry corps 
from a determined attack in the rear. He 
defeated General Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry 
at Hanover Court-House on the 30th of 
May and captured the town ; and on the 
1st of June, with onl}'^ three regiments of 
his brigade (the other three being detached 
to destroy the bridges across the South 
Anna River), he defeated, after heavy 
fighting, three brigades of the enemy at 
Ashland, but was subsequently so hard 
pressed by overwhelming numbers that he 
was compelled to retire down the railroad 
towards the South Anna River, losing only 
a few horses and taking with him all the 
wounded men who could bear moving. 
He was made a brevet colonel, to date 
from June 1, 1864, for gallant and meri- 
torious services upon that occasion. He 
commanded his brigade in the battle of 
Yellow Tavern, the actions of Strawberry 
Hill and Meadow Bridge, the skirmish 
near Mechanicsville, the battles of Hawes' 
Shop and Belhesda Church, and during 
the flank movement of the Army of the 
Potomac from Cold Harbor to James 
River he covered the right flank and as- 
sisted in h(dding the country between 
Malvern Hill and White Oak Swamp 
during the passage of the James River. 
He also commanded his brigade during 
Wilson's raid on the Danville and South 
Side Railroad, and was engaged in the ac- 
tions at Roanoke Station and Stony Creek, 
and in the battle of Petersburg. He was 
])romoted a captain December 7, 1863, and 
in consideration of valuable and conspicu- 
ous services was appointed a brigadier-

genonil of volunteers, to date from July 
21, 1804. He partieipatod in the Kbenan- 
doiih c!ini|iainii, and was en<;;aged in the 
battle of Winchester, the actions at Sum- 
mit Point, Charlestown, Halltown (where 
he covered General Sheridan's flank when 
falling back), and Kearneysville. His 
brigade, in connection with the cavalry 
corps, resisted General Breckenridge in 
his attemjit to cross the Potomac near 
Shepherdstown. His brigade defeated the 
enemy's cavalry at the Opcquan and forced 
it to seek safety behind the infantry, and' 
captured the Eighth South Carolina In- 
fantry in a brilliant dash at Abram's Creek 
on the 13lh of Septemlter, winning a 
special mention in the report of General 
Sheridan, and on the 19th of September, 
when in the advance, he destroyed the en- 
emy's picket and skirmish-line, and again 
defeated their cavalry at the Opcquan at 
daybreak and forced it behind the infantry, 
and then charged the latter, which was 
protected by earthworks, driving the en- 
tire force, and, taking possession of the 
key position of the battle-field, held it by 
stubborn fighting until eight o'clock a.m., 
when he was relieved by the advance of the 
18th Corps. Gen. Wilson, writing of his 
conduct upon that occasion, says : " The 
gallantry and determination of Gen. Mc- 
intosh in this part of the action were 
most conspicuous, and I venture to say, 
had the ground which he gained by his 
first dashing attack not been held till the 
infantry had taken position and prepai'cd 
for battle, the day could not have been 
gained by our troops." Later in the day 
the Third Cavali-y Division was moved to 
the left, where, after making a reconnois- 
sance, and finding the enemy's cavalry on 
that flank, he brought down the Fifth N. 
y. Cavalry, and in making a charge to 
determine their strength was shot in the 
right leg and carried from the field. The 
bones of the leg were completely shattered 
and he was compelled to submit to an am- 
putation of the limb. This misfortune 
closed a brilliant career of field-service, 
and at a time wlien he was prominent for 
promotion to the grade of major-general 
of volunteers. He was always ready and 
willing, and had made himself a conspic- 
uous figure in every battle in which he had 
been engaged, and had been frequently 
named in official reports for energy, cool- 
ness, judgment, and gallantry in action. 
The following brevet commissions, in ad- 
dition to tho-^e already named, were be- 
stowed upon him, to date from JNIarch 1.3, 
1865 : major-general of volunteers for dis- 
tinguished gallantry and good manage- 
ment at the battle of Opequan ; brigadier- 
general for gallantand meritorious services 



at the battle of AVinchester; and major- 
general for gallant and meritorious services 
in the field during the war of the rebellion. 
His wound disabled him until Feb. 8, '65, 
when he was assigned to g(!neral court- 
martial duty at Paducah, Ky., where he 
served until the 5th of May. He was then 
appointed a member of a board of offi- 
cers convened at Washington to examine 
officers for admission into the First Vet- 
ei'an Corjjs, and afterwards served on gen- 
eral court-martial duty at Annapolis, Md. 
He was mustered out of volunteer service 
April 30, 18(36, and, without rejoining the 
regiment, was appointed, in September, 
1866, lieutenant-colonel of the Forty- 
second U. S. Infantry (V. R. C), to date 
from July 28, 1866, and was employed 
during the fall and winter in organizing 
and drilling his regiment at Hart's I-land, 
N. Y., and in the spring of 1867 was 
transferred to Plattsburg, N. Y., and af- 
terwards to Madison Barracks, N. Y. He 
was appointed in December, 1867, deputy- 
governor of the Soldiers' Home, and servedf- 
in that position until April 1, 1868. He 
was then appointed governor of the Home, 
and held the office until July, when he 
resigned the position and was assigned to 
duty in New York City as a member of a 
Retiring Board, and in March, '69, he was 
transferred to the list of unassigned offi- 
cers and ordered, in June, 1869, to Cali- 
fornia as superintendent of Indian afl'airs, 
and discharged the duties of tiie office un- 
til Congress passed a law forbidding offi- 
cers of the army to hold civil office under 
the general government. He was retired 
from active service July .30, 1870, with the 
rank of brigadier-general, for the loss of 
his right leg from wounds received in the 
line of dutj'. 

Johnson, Richard W., was born in 
Livingston County, Ky. He was gradu- 
ated from the Military Academy on the 
1st of July, 1849, and assigned to the 
Si.xtli Infantry as a brevet second lieu- 
tenant, and was appointed in the First 
Infantrj' a second lieutenant, to date from 
June 10, 1850. He joined at Fort Snel- 
ling, Minn., where he served until 1851, 
when he was transferred to Te.xas, and 
had stations at Forts Duncan and Terrett 
until March 3, 1853, when he was ap- 
pointed adjutant of the First Infantry, 
and held the position until April 12, 1855, 
when he wsis appointed a first lieutenHnt 
in the Fifth (old Second) Cavalry, to date 
from March 3, 1855. He joined at Louis- 
ville, Ky., on the 7th of June, and on the 
12th was appointed regimental quarter- 
master. He soon thereafter proceeded to 
Jefferson Barracks, where he had station 
until the 27th of October, when he

marcliocl with the regiment to Fort Ma- 
son, Texas, where he arrived January 14, 
1850, and served as qtiarterniaster and 
commissary until the 30th of September, 
when lie resigned his statl" appointment 
and thereafter served at Forts Mason and 
Belknap, and Camps Colorado, Kud/.i- 
minski, and Cooper. He was promoted a 
captain December 1, 1856, and soon be- 
came conspicuous for practical attention 
to the wants of liis com])any, fondness for 
drills, and activity in the field. He dis- 
tinguished himself on the 22d of Decem- 
ber, 1856, in a combat with a band of 
Comanches on the head-waters of the Con- 
cho River, where, after a sharp conflict, 
he defeated the Indians with a severe loss, 
captured their horses and camp equipage, 
and rescued a Mexican captive. He par- 
ticipated in the Wichita expedition of 
1858, and was engaged in the brilliant 
action at Wichita "V illage on the 1st of 
October. He defeated a party of hostile 
Indians on the 13th of February, 18G0, 
between Kicknpoo and Brady Creeks, and 
he accompanied Major Thomas during 
the summer of 1860 in an expedition to 
the head-waters of the Concho and Colo- 
rado Rivers, and was frequently com- 
mended in orders from the headquarters 
of the army and the Department of Texas 
for services in the field and gallantry in 
action. He was serving at Fort Mason, 
commanding a squadron and the non-com- 
missioned staiF and band of the regiment, 
when Texas was surrendered to the insur- 
gents. He could do no better than obey 
the " Order of Exercises," and he accord- 
ingly abandoned the post on the 29th of 
March, 1801, and marched to Indianola, 
where he was joined by two other compa- 
nies. These companies constituted the 
second detachment of the regiment, and 
they were embarked on the steamship Em- 
pire City just in time to esca]ie capture, 
and failed for New York Harbor, and 
proceeded thence to Carlisle, where they 
arrived on the 27th of April. He pro- 
ceeded in June to Chambersburg, Pa., and 
participated in General Patterson's Shen- 
andoah campaign, and was engaged in the 
action at Falling Waters and the skir- 
mishes at Martinsburg and Bunker Hill. 
He availed himself of a leave of absence 
on the 28th of August for the purpose of 
accepting the lieutenant-colonelcy of the 
Third Kentucky Cavalry, and proceeded 
to Louisville, where he found the commu- 
nity greatly excited because of the invasion 
of Kentucky by the Confederate General 
Albert S. Johnston. He was placed in 
command of the HomeGuards, numbering 
twelve hundred men, and ordered to Leb- 
anon Junction, on the Louisville and Nash- 



ville Railroad ; but as the enemy halted at 
Bowling Green, and manifestetl no inten- 
tion to advance farther in the direction of 
Louisville, and as volunteer regiments 
were dispatched in great numbers to Ken- 
tucky, the necessity for the retention of 
this temporary force ceased to exist and it 
was disbanded, and he then joined the 
Third Kentucky Cavalry at Owensboro', 
where he served until the llth of October, 

1861, when he was appointed a brig. -gen. 
of volunteers, and assigned to the com- 
mand of a brigade in (General Anderson's 
army, then in front of Louisville, Kj-. He 
served with the army on the march to 
Nashville and through Tennessee en rouie 
to Pittsburg Landing, until he was pros- 
trated at Columbia, Tenn., by malarial 
fever and compelled to return to Louis- 
ville for medical treatmont. He rejoined 
his brigade after the battle of Shilnh, and 
participated in the skirmishes (routing the 
enemy in his front on the 28ih of May) and 
marches of the army during the advance 
upon Corinth from the 9th of April to the 
30th of May, 1862. After the evacuation 
of Corinth his command formed a part of 
the Army of the Ohio, under General 
Buell, on the march through North Ala- 
bama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. About 
this time he was promoted a major in the 
Fourth Cavalrj', to date from July 17, 

1862, but never served with his regiment. 
He was defeated on the 28th of August, 
1862, in an engagement with Morgan's 
Confederate cavalry near Gallatin, Tenn., 
and while exhibiting great courage in 
striving to rally his troops was captured 
by the enemy. He was soon exchanged, 
and a partial reorganization of the army 
gave him a division, which he commanded 
at the battle of Stone River, where he won 
the commendation of General Rosecrans as 
an officer who " ought to be made a major- 
general." He partici[)ated in the advance 
on Tullahoma, June 24 to July 4, 1863, and 
fought with his division at Liberty Gap, 
Tenn., on the 24th and 25th of June, one 
of the fiercest engagements of the war, con- 
sidering the numbers engaged. His divis- 
ion behaved handsomely at Chickamauga, 
driving the enemy a mile and a half and 
capturing seven pieces of artillery, to- 
gether with a large number of prisoners, 
arms, and colors, and he was made a bre- 
vet lieutenant-colonel, to date from Sep- 
tember 20, 1863, for gallant and merito- 
rious services at that fiercely-contested 
battle. He participatCiUn the defense of 
and operations around Chattanooga from 
September, 1863, to May, 1864, and was 
engaged in the battle of .Alissionary Ridge 
and the pursuit of the enemy immediately 
thereafter. General Grant, who was so

situated as to have a full view of the entire 
line, says in his report, " The divisions of 
Baird, Sheridan, and Johnson moved up 
the hill in line and simultaneously carried 
the crest of the Ridge." He was made a 
brevet colonel, to date from November 24, 
I8G0, for ,e;allant and meritorious services 
at the battle of Chattanooga. He com- 
manded a division of the Fourteenth 
Corps, Army of the Cumberland, during 
the invasion of Georgia, ilay and June, 
1864, and was engaged in the operations 
around Dalton, the demonstrations against 
Resaca, and the pursuit of the eneni}' with 
constant skirmishing, including the battle 
of New Hope Church, where he was se- 
verely wounded by a shell and compelled 
to retire from the field. He rejoined his 
division on tlie 13th of June and com- 
manded it until the 22d of August, when 
it became evident that he was too weak to 
endure the hardships of field service. 
General Sherman then appointed him 
chief of cavalry of the jNIilitary Division 
of the Mississippi, and dispatched him to 
Nashville to equip and forward cavalrj' 
lri>m that station ; but when the march to 
the sea was begun and General Hood in- 
vested Nashville his occupation was gone, 
and he reported to General Thomas, who 
assigned him, on the 8th of November, to 
the command of a division of cavalry, 
which he retained until October 12, 186-5. 
He was engaged in tlie battle of Nashville, 
and was highly complimented on the field 
by General Thomas for "skill, energy, 
and ability," and in the telegraphic report 
to the President at the end of the first 
day's battle General Thomas said: "I 
must not forget to report the operations 
of Brigadier-General Richard W. John- 
son in successfully driving the enemy, 
with the aid of the gunboats under Lieu- 
tenant-Commander Fitch, from their es- 
tablished batteries on the Cumberland 
below the city of Nashville." He was 
made a brevet major-general of volun- 
teers to date from December 16, 1864, and 
a brevet brigadier-general to date from 
March 13, 1865, for gallant and meritori- 
ous services at the battle of Nashville. 
He was then assigned to the command of 
the JNIiddle District of Tennessee, and 
lield that highly important civil-military 
position until January 15, 1866, when he 
was mustered out of volunteer service 
and received the brevet of major-general 
to date from March 13, ISflS, for gallant 
and meritorious services in the field during 
the war of the Rebellion. He was con- 
spicuous during the war for bis skill and 
energy, and he displayed great personal 
courage at Stone River, Chickamaugn, 
Missionary Ridge, and during the invasion 



of Georgia. He was provost-mar-hal-gen- 
eral of the ^Military Division of the Ten- 
nessee from October 12, 1865, to August 
13, 1865, and acting judge-ad vocitte of the 
same division from December 5, 1865, to 
August 13, 1866, and of the Department 
of the Tennessee from August 18, 1866, to 
Slarch 1-5, 1867, and of the Department of 
the Cumberland from March 15, 1867, to 
October 12, 1867, when he was retired 
from active service with the rank of 
major-general (changed to brigadier-gen- 
eral by act of Congress of March 3, 1875, 
not having "lost a leg or arm") for 
wounds received in the line of duty. He 
is the author of a pamphlet entitled 
"Manual of Arms for Colt's Breech- 
Loading Carbine and Navy Revolver," 
which came into general use as the troops 
were supplied with these arms. He was 
the orator at the organization of the So- 
ciety of the Army of the Cumberland on 
the 7th of February, 1867, in Mozart 
Hall, Cincinnati. He was professor of 
military science in the Missouri State 
University from July, 1868, to July, 
18()9, when he, in common with all officers 
on the retired list, was relieved from dutj'. 
The degree of A. M. was conferred upon 
him by the university. He was elected in 
September, 1869, professor of military 
science in the University of Minnesota, 
but resigned the position Januaj\y 1, 1871, 
and engaged in the real estate business at 
St. Paul, where he has since lived, having 
business interests at Montrose and Duluth. 
He has fully disproved the commonly ac- 
cepted idea that military service dis- 
qualifies a man for civil pursuits. His 
success has demonstrated that the educa- 
tion and experience acquired in the army 
with reference to system and regularity 
are the foundations of prosperity in all 
departments of business and in all the 
walks of life. He published in the spring 
of 1881 an admirably written " Memoir of 
Major-General George H. Thomas," 
which is recognized as a valuable contri- 
bution of material for the use of the future 
historian of the war of the Rebellion. He 
was the candidate of the Democratic party 
for governor of Minnesota at the general 
election of 1881.

Oakes, James. Born in Pennsylvania. 
Appointed from Pennsylvania ; graduated 
from the Military Academy on the 1st of 
July, '46, and was assigned to the Second 
Dragoons (now Second Cavalry) as a bvt. 
second lieutenant, and was promoted in 
that regiment a second lieutenant July 29, 
1847, and a first lieutenant June 30, 1851. 
He served in the war with Mexico, and 
■was engaged in the Chihuahua expedition, 
the siege of Vera Cruz, the skirmish at 
Medelin, the battles of Cerro Gordo, Con- 
treras, Churubusco, Molino del Eey, and 
the operations before, and capture of, the 
city of Mexico. The skirmish at Medelin 
was ended by the Second Dragoons, under 
Major Sumner, charging the stone bridge 
in column of fours. The leading four 
consisted of Sumner, Adjutant Neill, Reg- 
imental Quartermaster Lowry, and Oakes. 
The Mexican force was followed several 
miles on a road which was lined with 
fences, woods, and undergrowth. Lieut. 
Oakes, accompanied by Sergeant Lentz 
and Private Keith, getting ahead of the 
column, came on the rear of the retreating 
enemy, when about thirty took a road to 
the right, while the main body continued 
on the direct road. He followed the de- 
tachment until he had sabred and dis- 
mounted nearly all of them, when he re- 
turned to his command in the town of 
Medelin, and was then sent back to the 
camp near Vera Cruz for medical assist- 
ance. He served on the staff of Col. Har- 
ney at the battle of Cerro Gordo, and was 
especially mentioned for distinguished ser- 
vices and gallantry, and was commended 
in the highest terms by Major Sumner for 
efficiency at Molino del Key. He was 
made a brevet first lieutenant, to date 
from March 25, 1847, for gallant and 
meritorious conduct in the affair at Mede- 
lin, and a brevet captain, to date from 
Sej)t. 8, 1847, for gallant and meritorious 
conduct at the battle of Molino del Eey. 
He was acting adjutant of the Second 
Dragoons from April to November, 1847, 



when he was appoirited regimental quar- 
termaster, and served in that position 
until Aug. 15, 1849. After the Mexican 
war he was ordered to Texas, where he 
served until June, 1853, and had stations 
at Austin, and at Forts Graham, Lincoln, 
Mason, and Terrett. lie was engaged in 
two combats with the Conumches betweea 
the Nueces and Kio Grande on the 11th 
of July and 12ih of August, 1850, and in 
the latter was twice severely wounded, 
and he now suffers from the effects of one 
of the wounds. He was employed on the 
coast survey from Sept. 29, 1853, to April 
4, 1854, and was on cavalry recruiting 
service at Jefferson Barracks when he 
was appointed a captain in the Fifth (old 
Second) Cavalry, to date from March 3, 
1855. He recruited his company at Pitts- 
burg, and joined at Jefferson Barracks on 
the 24th of August and marched with the 
regiment to Texas, and arrived at Fort 
Mason on the 14th of January, 1856, and 
was actively employed in the field during 
the following spring and summer. He 
overtook a party of Waco Jndians on the 
22d of February near the head-waters of 
the Nueces, and severely punished them. 
He routed a party of Comanches on the 
1st of May near the head-waters of the 
Concho, and on the 30th of August had 
three engagements with hostile Indians 
near the junction of the Pecos and the 
Eio Grande, in which he killed and 
wounded some and compelled the others 
to seek safety in Mexico. He was com- 
mended in orders from the headquarters 
of the army for success and gallantry in 
these affairs. He changed station to Fort 
Clark in August, 1856, and commanded 
the post until May, 1858, when he re- 
moved with his company to Fort Belknap, 
where the regiment was ordered to con- 
centrate for the march to Utah ; but the 
order was countermanded, and he returned 
to Fort Clark and served there until De- 
cember, 1858, when the condition of his 
wounds compelled him to accept a sick- 
leave of absence. He rejoined his com- 
pany at Fort Inge in February, 1860, 
where he was serving when the secession 
movement was inaugurated. He was a 
man of energj' and determined purpose, 
and when he received Twiggs' " Order of 
Exercises," which required him to surren- 
der the government property to the State 
commissioners and march iiis company to 
Indianola and there embark for New 
York, he dispatched couriers to Fort Dun- 
can, Fort Clark, and Camp Wood, and 
urged a united action for the purpose of 
moving northward, out of the State, in 
defiance of the order, and requested that 
officers might be sent to Fort Inge to dis-

cuss the proposition and adopt a plan of 
action. Unfortunately for his plans, Cap- 
tain French had abandoned Fort Duncan 
and started for the mouth of the Rio 
Grande before the courier arrived there. 
An answer was returned from Fort Clark 
that it was impossible to move the four 
companies of infantry as proposed, be- 
cause they had no transportation. Lieut. 
Hood was sent from Camp Wood to make 
the necessary arrangements, but when he 
announced his purpose to resign if Ken- 
tucky should secede, Captain Oakes said 
that it was useless for himself to under- 
take the movement alone, as he had only 
seven days' rations, and some of the posts 
farther north were already in the possession 
of the State troops, having been surren- 
dered before he received the order of ex- 
ercises. He accordingly started from Ft. 
Inge on the 19th of *March,^ 1861, and 
marched his command to Green Lake, 
where he was again compelled to avail 
himself of a sick-leave of absence. He 
then returned to San Antonio to await the 
arrival of the last troops before leaving 
the State, and while there learned that it 
was intended to capture the infantry un- 
der the command of Col. Reeve, in viola- 
tion of the agreement made with the insur- 
gents. Although in feeble health, he vol- 
unteered to take his old guide and travel 
across the country until he met Col. Reeve 
beyond Fort Clark and turn him back, to 
leave the State by the way of the El Paso 
and Santa Fe roads. But the depart- 
ment commander, relying upon the good 
faith of the insurgents, and perhaps afraid 
to trust any person because so many were 
deceiving him, declined the offer, and 
the result was that the entire command 
was captured and paroled, and five days 
after making this otfer the department 
commander and all his staff were in the 
power of the insurgents. He was then 
intrusted with dispatches, and made his 
way out of the State by the way of Aus- 
tin, Brenham, and Galveston, and escaped 
capture. He received a vote of thanks, 
enrolled on parchment, from the Secession 
Convention for sending an expedition 
against hostile Indians (under Lieutenant 
Arnold) after the State had seceded, 
which resulted in driving them across the 
Kio Grande ; and it may be added that 
for performing this service he was repri- 
manded by the department commander. 
He was promoted a major in the regiment 
April 6, 18G1, and a few weeks later was 
appointed a brigadier-general of volun- 
teers, to date from May 17, 18G1, which 
he declined on account of ill health caused 
by wounds received in action, being un- 
willing tp draw the pay when he could 



not perform the duties of the grade. He 
relinquished his sick-leave in May and 
proceeded to Wheeling, Va. , where he 
served on mustering duty until Septem- 
ber, when he rejoined and commanded 
the regiment at Washington until .Janu- 
ary 14, 1862. He was promoted lieuten- 
ant-colonel of the 4th Cavalry, to date 
from November 12, 1861, and joined his 
regiment — then serving with the Army of 
the Ohio — and commanded it during the 
Tennessee and Mississippi campaign, and 
participated in the movement on Nash- 
ville, the march to Pittsburg Landing, 
the battle of Shiloh, and the advance on, 
and siege of, Corinth. He was transferred 
with his regiment in September, 1862, to 
the Army of the Mississippi, and was en- 
gaged in the battle of Corinth. He was 
then assigned to mustering and disbursing 
duty at Jackson, Mich., where he served 
until April 29, 1863, when he was ap- 
pointed assistant provost-marshal-general 
for Illinois, and was stationed at Spring- 
field until September, 1866. He was, at 
the same time, mustering and disbursing 
oflicer and superintendent of the volunteer 
recruiting service for the State, and also 
commanded the District of Illinois from 
September, 1865, to August, 1866. He 
was made a brevet colonel and a brevet 
brigadier-general, to date from March 30, 

1865, for meritorious and faithful services 
in the recruitment of the armies of the 
United States. He was promoted colonel 
of the 6th Cavalry, to date from July 31, 

1866, and joined his regiment at Austin, 
Texas, on the 1st of February, 1867. He 
served with it in Texas, the Indian Ter- 
ritory, Kansas, and Arizona, and had sta- 
tions at Austin, and at Forts Richardson, 
Riley, Hays, and Lowell, and performed 
the duties pertaining to a post and regi- 
mental commander until April 29, 1879, 
when he was retired from active service, 
at his own request, having served over 
thirty years.

wounded), and in the assault upon, and

54 was emploj'ed in Indian campaigns in 
Texas, and had stations at Forts Merrill, 
Ewell, and Inge. He was on recruiting 
service in Baltimore when appointed a

Jnnuary and February, 1858, in operations 
against hostile Indians near the head-

. He returned to Fort Mason in May, 1858, 
and about one month later proceeded to 
Fort Belknap, where the regiment was 
ordered to concentrate for the march to 
Utah ; but the order was revoked, and he 
was a.ssigned, on the 27th of July, to duty 
at that post, where he served until Jan- 
uarj-, 1859, when he was ordered to Wash- 
ington and assigned to special duty until

lost a leg. Remained fourteen ho\irs be- 
fore surgical attention was received ; the 
amputation was accomyJished under fire; 
subsequent examination showed it to have 
been most unskillfully done, and led to the 
conclusion that the saw had been with- 
drawn before going through, and that 
the unsawed portion of the bone had been 
broken off. He was borne away, and re- 
mained twenty-four hours without shelter 
and exposed to the beating of a violent 
storm. During this time the insufficient 
dressing came off wounded limb, the 
flesh flaps were unloosed, and a brother

with verniin. Five months after this he 
was compelled to submit to an operation

' Potter, Reuben M. Born in the State 



of New Jersey on the 14th of February, 
1802, and was appointed a military store- 
keeper of the Quartermaster's Depart- 
ment March 28, 1848, and was assigned 
soon after to duty in the quartermaster- 
general's office ; in May, 1850, he was as- 
signed to the charge of the depot of army 
clothing and equipage at New Orleans; 
in April, 1851, he was ordered by the 
quartermaster-general to accompany Bvt. 
Brig. -Gen. "Whiting, asst. quartermaster- 
gen., on a tour of inspection to the several 
posts of Texas ; Avhen the inspection was 
concluded the military store-keeper, after 
a two months' leave of absence, returned 
to New Orleans in November, 1851, and 
resumed the charge of the depot of clothing 
and equipage; in May, 1853, he was as- 
signed to the charge of the clothing and 
equipage arsenal on Schuylkill, at Phila- 
delphia, and took the accountability of the 
same on the 1st of July following, and 
continued in that charge till December, 
1857, when he was ordered to San Antonio, 
Texas, where he took the accountability 
of the depot of clothing and equipage in 
March, 1858, and continued in that charge 
till January or February, 1861, when the 
place was occupied and thi^ public property 
seized by a rebel force under Gen. Ben Mc- 
Culloch. It may be a coincidence of civil 
war worthy of note that on this occasion 
the military storekeeper was relieved of 
accountability by force of arms in the 
hands of an old friend who was one of his 
own sureties, for McCulloch's name at that 
time figured on Potter's bond. The latter 
was subsequently arrested, and released 
under parole, along with the other officers 
of that post ; he reported at Washington 
in May, 1861, and in Jul}' following was 
assigned to the accountability of a new 
and extensive depot of army cloth and 
equipage in New York City, in charge of 
which he continued till December, 1866; 
while in this position he received, with 
the rest of his class, the effective rank of 
captain, by virtue of the act of July 28, 
1866 ; in the fall of 1866 he requested that 
he should be relie>ved that he might settle 
his voluminous accounts ; he was relieved 
accordingly, and the duty of adjusting his 
accountability occupied about a year, for 
the property which had rolled in and out 
of his charge under the confusing pressure 
of war necessity amounted in value to 
$120,000,000; awaiting orders till June, 
1869, when he was assigned to duty as act- 
ing assistant quartermaster at Pittsburg, 
Pa., where he remained till June, 1873, 
when he was assigned to Fort Wood, 
N.Y.H., as post quartermaster; he re- 
mained in that position till July 19, 1875, 
when he was placed on sick-leave, and

His liealth fiiiletl somewhat owing to ex- 
traordinary duties, nnd, after remaining 
one year witliout a charge, he spent nearly 
two years in the care of a parish in the 
western part of that State. For the fur- 
ther benefit of his health he then went to 
New Orleans, and performed ministerial 
duties in that city and in St. Mary's 
Parish, on Bayou Teche, for several 
years, when he was invited to the rector- 
ship of a church at Dayton, Ohio; from 
which city, in less than three years, he 
went to Philadelphia, and otRciated in a 
large parish near that city until thesecond 
year of the late rebellion, when his great 
interest in the struggle then going on in-

pitals and aftlicted families, unofficially, 
until he was applied to go to the South as 
a hospital chaplain. The first few months 
he was stationed at Savannah. After- 
ward he took charge of a large hospital

1873, when he was ordered to Fort Snel- 
ling, Minnesota. In the autumn of that 
year he was ordered to Fort Leavenworth, 
Kan., where he remained until the spring 
of 1882. In the Dept. of the Missouri 
and in Dakota he was accustomed to go to 
different posts not provided with chap- 
lains, and to visit extensive neighbor- 
hoods, by permission of department com- 
manders, to render services. Upon leav- 
ing Leavenworth he had an order to report 
for duty to the commander of the Dept. 
of the Pacific, and was assigned to Angel 
Island, in the harbor of San Francisco. 
In July of that year his name was placed

(liquid.) 

Prepared according to the directions of Prof. E. N. Horsford, of Cambridge, Masi, 

A PEEPARATION OF THE PHOSPHATES OF LIME, MAGNESIA, POTASH, AND IRON 

WITH PHOSPHORIC ACID IN SUCH FORM AS TO BE READILY 

ASSIMILATED BY THE SYSTEM. 

As Food for an Exhausted Brain, 

In Liver and Kidney Trouble, 

In Sea-Sickness and Sick Headache, 

In Dyspepsia, Indigestion, and Constipation, 

In Inebriety, Despondency, and Cases of 
Impaired Nerve Function, 

HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE 

Has become a necessity in a large number of households throughout the 

world, and is universally used by physicians of all schools. 

It is not nauseous, but agreeable to the taste. 

No danger can attend its use. 

Its action will harmonize with such stimulants as are necessary to take.

We have received a very large number of letters from physicians of the highest 
standing, in all parts of the country, relating their experience with Ihe Acid Phosphate, 
and speaking of it in high terms of commendation. 

Horsford's Acid Phosphate is for sale by all druggists. Pamphlets mailed free on

Naval Battles, Ancient and Modern. 

By EDWARD SHIPPEN, 

Medical Director, United States Navy; Contributor to Hamersly^s " NavaX Encyclopeedia," etc. 

A. Concise and Spirited History of the Most Celebrated Naval Engagements, 
from Salamis, B.C. 480, to the Bombardment of Alexandria, A.D. 1882. 



" The wonderful record of patriotism and valor dis- 
played by the naval heroes of the past loses nothing in 
the telling when Dr. Shippen is the recorder." — Dr. Johji 
B. Hamilton, Surgeon-General, U. S. Marine Hotpital Ser- 
vice, Washington, D.C. 

"The sulijects chosen, and the importance of the 
issues at stake in almost every one of these conflicts, 
give the book an interest which none who attempt 
to read it can help feeling." — The Globe Democrat, St. 
Louis, Mo. 



"Dr. Shippen has written a very interesting book, — 
far more interesting than most histories, and, we may 
add, more valuable than a good many of them." — TAe 
Army and Navy Register, Washington, D.C. 

" Men's imaginations will never cease to be fired by 
the story of Lepanto, the Invincible Armada, the Se- 
rapis and Bonhomme Richard, Trafalgar, the Monitor 
and Merrimac, and the many others equally noteworthy 
which Dr. Shippen tells in his interesting book." — The 
New York Observer. 

The work is illustrated on an extensive and original scale. In addition to thirty tinted full-page 
pictures of Famous Battles, there are also thirty engravings of Galleys and War Vessels, showing 
the improvements and changes from the time of the Persians (500 B.C.) to a.d. 1882. 

THE BEST SELLING BOOK OF THE SEASON. One agent took 1.36 orders in three weeks, 
another 39 in three days, another 30 in four days, another 40 in one week, etc.

By Captain CHARLES KING, U,S,A,, 

Author of " Winning Sis Spurs," etc. 

"We have examined the work in manuscript, and can truly say that it is delightful reading, reflecting, as it 
does, not alone the author's graceful skill in composition, but his keen soldierly zest in battle-scenes as well. . . 
From Marathon to Sedan, all the great conflicts that have been largely influential in setting up or overthrowing 
dynasties, in riveting the bonds of tyranny, or in winning independence for states and peoples, find place and treat- 
ment. . . ." — Tlie United Service, for December, 1883.

NEW^ YORK, 1884. 



TTBOUT sixty million copies of The Sun have gone out of our establish- 
rt ment during the past twelve months. 
J If you were to paste end to end all the columns of all The Suns 

printed and sold last year you would get a continuous strip of interesting 
information, common-sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane wit long 
enough to reach from Printing House Square to the top of Mount Coper- 
nicus in the moon, then back to Printing House Square, and then three- 
quarters of the way back to the moon again. 

But The Sun is written for the inhabitants of the earth ; this same strip 
of intelligence would girdle the globe twenty-seven or twenty-eight times. 

If every buyer of a copy of The Sun during the past year has spent 
only one hour over it, and if his wife or his grandfather has spent another 
hour, this newspaper in 1883 has afforded the human race thirteen thousand 
years of steady reading night and day. 

It is only by little calculations like these that you can form any idea 
of the circulation of the most popular of American newspapers, or of its 
influence on the opinions and actions of American men and women. 

The Sun is, and will continue to be, a newspaper which tells the truth 
without fear of consequences, which gets at the facts no matter how much 
the process costs, which presents the news of all the world without waste of 
words and in the most readable shape, which is working with all its heart for 
the cause of honest government, and which, therefore, believes that the Re- 
publican party must go, and must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884. 

If you know The Sun, you like it already, and you will read it with 
accustomed diligence and profit during what is sure to be the most inter- 
esting year in its history. If you do not yet know The Sun, it is high time 
to c:et into the sunshine. 



XERMS XO TlflAlT^ SUBSCRIBHRS. 

The several editions of THE SUN are sent by mail, postpaid, as follows : 
DAILY— 50 cents a month, Sg^ a year; with Sunday edition, S7. 
SUNDAY— Eight pages. This edition furnishes the current news of the world, 
special articles of exceptional interest to everybody, and literary reviews of 
new books of the highest merit. Si a year. 
"WEEKLY— 8S1 a year. Eight pages of the best matter of the daily issues ; an Agri- 
cultural Department of unequal'ed value, special market reports, and literary, 
scientific, and domestic intelligence ma2e THE "WEEKLY SUN the newspaper 
for the farmer's household. To clubs of ten with $10, an extra copy free.

Our two pamphlets of Prize Essays, respectively on the culture of CELERY '*"^ 
O N I O N S y comprise the experience and processes of experts in all sections of the land. 
The information they contain is worth ten times their cost of twenty-five cents each. 

The attention of amateur gardeners is called to the fact that, with a slight exception, 
the Seeds offered by us are grown and saved entirely by ourselves, upon our own Seed 
Farms, and from our own stocks of PEDIGREE SEED, the result of many 
years' careful and intelligent selection, not the result of chance and careless purchases 
from parties who know nothing of the business of raising Seeds. We invite the atten- 
tion of all who raise vegetables to the list oj apjiroved varieties which we offer. We have 
made Seed-growing a study, and give our customers the result of many years' close obser- 
vation. Our long experience in Seed-raising has afforded us the best opportunity to 
comprehend, and realize to the fullest extent, the wants and necessities of all who grow 
vegetables for tlieir own use, and we have made their supply a specialty. 

Our experience dates almost from Colonial days, and we here give an extract from a 
letter received from one of our old customers : 

" 1702. W^hen we write this note Ave cannot but think how long business relations
